Cereal in the evening might be an acquired taste for some but that concept helped fuel the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the 1992 Sugar Bowl. The Irish’s 39-28 upset win over the Florida Gators allowed the Irish to end with a 10-3 record and helped silence the many Notre Dame detractors over their presence in the game.
The 1991 edition of the Irish had spent a good portion of that season in strong contention for the national title. After winning eight of their first nine games, those championship dreams died for Notre Dame after consecutive losses to Tennessee and Penn State.
