Garbage time in any football game usually won’t create any memorable moments that are still remembered decades later. That wasn’t the case for Notre Dame Fighting Irish head coach Lou Holtz on October 24, 1992. It was on that date that he offered up an animated way to express his displeasure with the game’s officials.
In the first-ever meeting between the Irish and the visiting BYU Cougars, 10th-ranked Notre Dame improved its record to 5-1-1 on the season with a 42-16 pounding of the Cougars, who entered the game with a mediocre 4-3 mark, The end result wasn’t a surprise since the Irish entered the game as 20-point favorites.
