Thoughts and prayers go out to friends and family of Coach Holtz. No doubt there are many individuals who have a story to tell about Coach Holtz even if only it were a brief interaction. This is mine. https://johnbaranowski.wordpress.com/2020/06/30/my-lou-holtz-story/

In Donald's senior season, he did nothing against Notre Dame. Not a factor whatsoever.

Which of these two teams was better that lost in their national championship game either late in the 4th quarter or in overtime: 2002 Miami or 2005 USC?

Do you see Week 1 in Miami as the toughest game on the schedule? Texas A&M, Boise State and USC are all home games.

With upcoming games against Big Ten teams Purdue and USC in 2025, and games against Wisconsin, Michigan State, Purdue and USC in 2026, how has Notre Dame football fared against Big Ten teams...

Point well taken.

Those 16 points still count on the scoreboard and in the record book? Or is there a line that's drawn for each Super Bowl that varies when giving up points differs?

That Bucs defense gave up two passing touchdowns, a 39-yarder to Jerry Porter and a 48-yarder to Jerry Rice. The Raiders were second in scoring in the NFL averaging 28.1 ppg. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200301260rai.htm

Great effort, but some SB defenses pitched shutouts and gave up less yards.

Great first half, but the second half also counts on the stat sheet and in the record books. They ended up giving up 22 points to a team that only scored 30 points twice during the entire season and averaged 22.6 points per game which was 15th out of 32 teams last year.

Didn't pitch a shutout like some other SB defenses and in reality, how good was a Tony Eason-led offense......

Perhaps but giving up nearly 325 yards of offense.....
