1992 at South Bend. I don't know if Lou Holtz ever wanted a game more than that one. Bill Walsh had been the NBC color commentator for Notre Dame football the year before. During that season, Walsh was often critical of Holtz and his coaching decisions. In the week leading up to the '92 Stanford game, Holtz spoke out against Walsh and some of his criticisms of him. BW responded by saying that Holtz often acted like a petulant child.
ND rushed out to a 16-0 lead before Stanford blitzed them with 33 unanswered points. Afterwards, Walsh and Holtz met at midfield and Walsh put his arm around Lou, seemingly consoling him as the two walked off of the field. Inside, you knew Holtz had to be just humiliated by what happened on the field and by Walsh's post-game showmanship. Without a doubt, one of my favorite Stanford football memories!
