Notre Dame fighting Irish upset UCLA Bruins
It would be nice if I could say that there is a storied history between the Fighting Irish and the Bruins on the gridiron. In 1974, the Irish put an end to an 88-game Bruins winning streak, but that was in basketball. Otherwise, Notre Dame and UCLA have only met twice on the gridiron, once in 1963 and again in 1964. The Irish won both games.
And though things almost ended differently for the Irish, the gold-domed helmets remain undefeated against the Bruins.
Notre Dame Quarterback Brady Quinn, under pressure all day by a relentless Bruins defense, completed three passes in a row in the closing moments of the 4th quarter. The last pass was a 45-yard TD pass to Jeff Samardzija to clinch a 20-17 comeback victory for the Irish.
Samardzija’s catch is being hailed as the catch that saved ND. Fighting Irish fans looking to get their hands on Notre Dame Tickets can rely on Stubhub as the place to pick up tickets.
