Although the Fighting Irish had led the series 5-1, including a victory in their previous game in 1987, the rivalry stems more from the national attention each team receives as great football tradition. Additionally, the great Bear Bryant (Alabama coach 1957-83) went 0-4 against Notre Dame, including two shots at national championships, by losing the 1973 Sugar Bowl (23-24) and the 1975 Orange Bowl (11-13).
