ND vs. Purdue in 05′. A ton of great plays by “The Shark”

All the Shark did was catch the ball. All he did. It was awesome.

I was at this game also. Though the end was fantastic, Weis’s play calling that day, started me doubting his abilities. Jeff S’s skills were fantastic. I agree with Tom O. #83 was the best all-round receiver I’ve seen at ND. and I go back to Hanratty and Seymour.

I remember being glued to the tv just knowing that the Irish could explode at any moment. That offense was just impossible to stop. Great finish and a wonderful memory. Thanks.

In reply to jack barthel. Definitely the loudest I've heard it in my 40 or so games in the stadium. I think part of it was that the place was SO quiet up until that point, though. I wish it would have happened just a few years later in the age where there would have been plenty of good video recordings from the crowd to capture it. There would be some great shots of the crowd going wild.

In reply to jack barthel. I agree. The only comparison I would have is USC from 2005, but it never had the pop like this game did.

My cousin and I were at the game. I was still a senior in high school and my cousin was in 8th grade. When Samardzija scored he literally jumped on me and we went toppling out of our section. A few people asked us if we were alright and we just hopped up and started “high fiving” everyone in sight. What a memory! What a game! I still wish 83 would have stuck it out with Football.

Nice memory!

Of course Hayden and Hammonds playing their their usual lifeless, monotone selves in the background despite the amazing play.
