One of the most heated rivalries in college football of the 1980's and 90's is renewed Saturday when Notre Dame hosts Miami at Chicago's Soldier Field.

The 9th ranked undefeated Irish beat the Canes two years ago in the Sun Bowl, but it's the battles from 25 years ago that people remember most.

None bigger than 1988--the famous fight in the tunnel and Jimmie Johnson going for two in the final minute looking to beat the Irish only to see Pat Terrell bat out the end zone toss as Notre Dame pulled off for the win over the #1 ranked Hurricanes. Notre Dame of course went on to win what has become their last national title.
