....Weis era, Ambrose Wooden for helping set up that epic play. If I recall correctly, it was 4th down & 20+ yds to go (SC on their ~ 25 yard line) with a 1:30 to go in the game, Wooden (Mr. Toast his whole career) decided or was instructed to play SC WR Dewayne Jarrett in a tight man-to-man coverage only to get burned once again. Leinhart completed the pass to Jarrett down to the ND 13 yd line. 2 rushes by Reggie Bush got the ball down to the 2 yd line; next play Leinhart (qb sneak) gets pushed into the end zone by Bush for the game winning TD. Gotta love the luck of the IRISH!!!
