For this week’s Throwback Thursday post, I’m going to revisit the thrilling showdown between Notre Dame and Air Force on October 28, 2000. In a game that saw the Fighting Irish nearly squander an 18-point lead in the final quarter, it was Joey Getherall’s clutch performance that sealed a 34-31 victory in overtime. Despite Air Force’s dramatic comeback, highlighted by a stunning aerial display from quarterback Mike Thiessen and receiver Ryan Fleming, Notre Dame’s resilient defense and Getherall’s decisive 9-yard touchdown run preserved the Irish’s Bowl Championship Series aspirations. Join me as I relive this unforgettable clash that had fans on the edge of their seats until the very end.
