Has a FR (RS) ND QB ever started the opening game of the season on the road against a top 10 team? [NT] - Hensou - 2:03pm 8/21/25 (23) [View All]
- The N is too small to be meaningful. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 10:14pm 8/21/25
- It almost happened in 2001. - jakers - 4:09pm 8/21/25
  - That was the sea of red game, right? - Chris94 - 3:40pm 8/22/25
    - The sea of Red game with Nebraska was in 2000. [NT] - Irish_Demon - 3:51pm 8/22/25
  - I was at the A&M game, it was brutally hot. - PaND - 9:34am 8/22/25
    - Amazingly, he did not know this. - jakers - 11:17am 8/22/25
      - I’m still surprised at how over his skis he was as a head coach [NT] - WestCoastIrishFan - 1:50pm 8/22/25
        Quite a few were. A terrible coaching search and Holtz's endorsement got us there. - jakers - 3:11pm 8/22/25
- Rick Mirer started and beat #4 Michigan (at home though) in 1990. - AlbanyIRISH - 2:18pm 8/21/25
  - Was that the first true “night game” at ND? - NDblues - 8:12pm 8/21/25
    - No, it was against Michigan, but in 1982 [NT] - Irish_Demon - 10:51pm 8/21/25

        They were just lights on a crane. Lol. But it was the bees knees. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 10:16am 8/22/25
        Those were the days!! [NT] - WoodstockIrish - 11:11am 8/22/25
        I recall the white paper hats they gave students for that game. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 7:40pm 8/22/25
    - They brought in portable lights for games years before that. - NedoftheHill - 9:12pm 8/21/25
      - Yup - Musco Lighting Company - Nigel Tufnel - 10:52pm 8/21/25
