Throwback Thursday: Notre Dame Fighting Irish VS Michigan Wolverines, 1988

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of spending time with Frank Stams and several other players from the legendary 1988 Notre Dame team. Inspired by their stories and camaraderie, I thought it would be fitting for this week’s Throwback Thursday to look back on a key game from that unforgettable season. The matchup I’ve chosen is Notre Dame’s thrilling season opener against Michigan on September 10, 1988—an intense game that set the stage for the Irish’s climb to a national championship. Let’s revisit how the smallest player on the field, Reggie Ho, became a giant in Irish lore with his game-winning heroics.
