Thanks for posting, by the way. 15 years ago I only watched the very end of this game and this is the first time I watched all of it. That was outstanding football and an incredibly close game. Even that Jarrett pass was no more than a half foot from being batted down.
It's so wild in 2020's watching 2 CFB teams play under center 'pro style' or at least as it was in the 1990's-2000's NFL, when 10 Bill Walsh pass patterns plus the usual 5 run plays were everyone's base plays. Yet today, Pro Style is shotgun 1/2 the time, 3 WR 2/3 of the time. While college; You don't get 2 TE or a FB under center every down in 2021 unless you're watching Wisconsin. Which now has an advantage in playing such a different offense.
One of many heartbreaking “oh so close” games for the Irish against top ranked teams this century. 2014 @ #2 FSU, 2015 @ #12 Clemson, 2015 @ #13 Stanford, 2017 vs #15 UGA, 2019 @ #3 UGA, 2021 vs #9 OkSt, 2023 vs #6 OSU
USC put Reggie Bush on Kickoff with 3 seconds left in this game..... USC should've put Reggie Bush in the Texas game when it was 4th & 19!! A few stupid mistakes cost USC the Texas Rosebowl game...(Lendale's 4th & 1, 4th & 19, and Reggie's toss "fumble")etc.....etc... ✌✌
MarkiyaPlays Roblox NOT EVEN CLOSE! USC HAD 38 GAME UNBEATEN STREAK? DON’T FORGET IF IRISH WIN THIS GAME, NO USC VS TEXAS FOR TITLE? UNLIKE MOST IRISH FANS, I AM HUMBLE . I RECALL CARROL’S TEAMS DESTROYING US EVERY YEAR! THANKFUL FOR ANY WINS AGAINST SC. GREAT GAME COMING UP THIS YEAR!🍀🏈🍀
Football's fumble out of bounds rules are dumb. Because Leinart fumbled directly out of bounds, USC retains the ball. But if Leinart had fumbled THROUGH the end zone and out of bounds, it would be advantage ND. There's no reason for this inconsistency. Regardless of whether the rule chosen were to favor the offense or the defense, this rule should be more consistent either way.
WHEN IS A PENALTY NOT A PENALTY? ONLY IN THE BIGGEST GAME OF THE YEAR. FIRST OF ALL LEINHART’S FORWARD PROGRESS WAS STOPPED, GAME OVER. BEFORE THE BUSH PUSH. 15 YEARS LATER, STILL RIDICULOUS. 🍀🏈🍀

This game kicked off the same time that the Michigan-Penn State game did and both had fantastic finishes.
The Bush Push Game!
Dam Reggie bush was a problem dude was so fast and shifty

Damn I can still imagine Jarrett running down the sideline on that 4th and 9 play. Still what an epic game, ND was so close.
It's fascinating watching this almost 20 years later. I don't think either of these QB's get drafted in the 1st round today.

I remember when this game was played my cable company had contract issues with NBC so they blocked this game .. I was super mad .. smh
Jeff would of been so good in the nfl
This was Charlie Weis best game as a college coach.
This game was insane!!!
As an ND fan I’d almost rather lose by 100 than lose like this

I honestly feel Notre Dame was better off letting Jerrett score on that 4'th down play knowing USC had no defense that year.
SLOW Zibadipski still trying to catch Reggie to this day! 😆 #FIGHTON ✌✌✌✌
Can’t even remember the last time USC beat Notre Dame but keep living in the past dog
@@simulationkev you just did thanks for remembering now go to talk to someone who cares about your feelings 😂😂😂😂
@@simulationkev It was 2016. USC 45 ND 27.
@@simulationkevthis aged well 😂
Greatest rivalry in College Football.....EVER!
No ...Cause Notre Dame is trash all the time ..
@Jomo Walkler Both teams haven’t been good at the same time in years.
@@allengreene9954 i know ... Alabama Auburn is #1 right now ..and im a Michigan fan ..Osu U M is no 2 right now
Not close
Coach called a TO. Should have been a penalty
Fucking Leinart fumbled and the ball should've been placed where it went out of bounds and that was before the Bush Push
Smh
Every Notre Dame loss is a good loss!!
Amen
Let it go lol
I WISH I COULD!🍀🤦♂️🍀
Bro im a die hard S.C. fan y’all just beat us by 3 last year that has to make up for this game lol
