Answer: Bob Davie

Good ol' Bob finished 35-25 in 5 long years.

2. Who was the quarterback who was knocked out by ND in the 1989 Fiesta Bowl?

Some delusional West Virginia fans believe that if he weren't knocked out, they would have beaten ND.

3. What was the "penalty" called on a Raghib Ismail's punt return in the 1991 Orange Bowl?

Answer: Clipping

The Irish lost 10-9, propelling Colorado to a share of the National Title with Georgia Tech.

4. Who was the ND quarterback when they beat Florida State in 1993?

Answer: Kevin McDougal

ND finished 11-1 under this one-season quarterback. Going into the year, there was a controversy between him and Paul Failla. Lou obviously made the correct choice.

5. Between 1946 and September of 1950, the Irish never lost. Name either one the two teams that bookended the streak.

Great Lakes beat the fifth ranked Irish 39-7, and the Boilers beat the #1 Irish 28-14. The Irish were 37-0-2 during that stretch.

Bob was 1-9 during night games, and 1-9 against ranked teams on the road.

7. Which quarterback was told by Bob Davie that he would not be recruited as a quarterback, but as an "athlete"?

Crouch went on the Nebraska, running the same option offense run by Davie, and won the Heisman trophy in 2001.

8. Who was the opponent the last time the Irish wore the green jerseys, before 2002?

Answer: Georgia Tech

The green jerseys were worn because Autry Denson told Bob that he had never worn the green jerseys, and he was the captain, so they wore them. They lost 35-28 in the Gator Bowl.

9. Name the former Irish QB that is married to ESPN basketball analyst Dick Vitale's daughter?

Answer: Tom Krug

Tom played in one game, the '96 Orange Bowl against Florida State, because Ron Powlus broke his collarbone again in the season finale. The Irish lost 31-26 to the Seminoles.

10. When ND played their "rival" Boston College on October 27th, 2001, it was the 13th time they had met. How many times did ND win?

Answer: 9

ND lost this game 17-21. The first time they met was September 15th, 1975 (ND won 17-3). ND then won the next 3 meetings, and their fifth meeting, in 1993, was the most memorable game between the schools. BC won 41-39 the week after ND beat Florida State to become #1 in the country.
