Throwback Thursday: Notre Dame Fighting Irish VS Stanford Cardinal 2005

There are very few full-game videos of the 2005 season for Notre Dame football on YouTube. It was a historic year for the Irish in Charlie Weis’s first season, and despite all that we know now — we all thought the future was bright (as bright as the pants and brighter than the helmets).

One of the brightest points from that year was their last game of the season. Brady Quinn was a golden god, and directed a Notre Dame offense that was seemingly unstoppable. Two close losses that year to the Michigan State Spartans and USC Trojans kept the Irish out of the BCS Championship game, but a BCS bowl was still on the line.
