In my lifetime, it ranks behind the 1973 Sugar Bowl and 1988 Miami. To me this is top 5 since Parseghian roamed the sidelines especially if Notre Dame goes on to win the championship. Perhaps it’s recency bias on my part… i was at the game. The team never quit . Penn State was running all over Notre Dame’s defense. Yet, they kept battling and hanging in there. What an experience for me. The atmosphere was incredible. The fans on both sides were LOUD. I saw the ND players on the sideline rooting for their teammates on the field the entire game. I saw Coach Freeman giving the referees hell after the PI call on Shuler.
