Notre Dame finally won a bowl game after a nine bowl losing streak. They hadn’t won a bowl since the 1994 Cotton Bowl. They beat Hawaii in the Hawaii Bowl this year and have much to celebrate.

In the Cotton Bowl game of ‘94 they played against Texas A&M who they had beaten the previous year. They won again 24-21. Lou Holtz was the Irishmen’s coach and Texas A&M had Bob Davie as their Defensive Coordinator and R.C. Slocum as their Head Coach. A lot has changed in those 14 years. Interestingly Bob Davie ending up coaching the defense for the Irish the next year and eventually became head coach of in 1997.

Here is the video of that classic Irish vs A&M matchup:
