☘️🏈 THROWBACK THURSDAY: LEAVE NO DOUBT! It’s MIAMI WEEK, and you know what that means! Time to revisit one of the greatest games in Notre Dame football history! October 15, 1988. Notre Dame 31. Miami 30. And one unforgettable defensive play by Pat Terrell! ☘️ For this week’s Throwback Thursday on One Foot Down, I’m sharing some of my favorite stories from my interview with Pat for my book Echoes From the End Zone. Did you know Pat originally dreamed of being Notre Dame’s next Heisman Trophy-winning wide receiver? Or that he had only recently become a starting defensive back when he made THAT famous play against Miami? And wait until you hear his hilarious response when Tony Rice asked why he didn’t INTERCEPT the ball instead of knocking it down! 😂 We also revisit Coach Lou Holtz’s unforgettable pregame speech, the magic of the 1988 national championship season, and the memory Pat treasures even more than his famous play. This story is about so much more than football. It’s about perseverance, preparation, believing in yourself, and the people who help you along the way. 💚 And speaking of Coach Holtz, I’m proud to share that my Leave No Doubt T-shirts and hoodies honor his legacy, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Holtz’s Heroes Foundation! 👕 Shop: echoesfromnotredamebooks.com… 📖 READ MY NEW THROWBACK THURSDAY STORY: onefootdown.com/notre-dame-f… Here’s hoping the Irish give us another unforgettable performance against Miami this Saturday! LEAVE NO DOUBT! GO IRISH! ☘️🏈 #GoIrish #NotreDameFootball #ThrowbackThursday #LouHoltz #PatTerrell #LeaveNoDoubt #NotreDameMiami

BACK WHERE THE STORIES BEGAN… AND JUST IN TIME FOR NOTRE DAME VS. MIAMI! ☘️🏈 📚 There's something special about being back on the campus of Notre Dame, especially during a big football weekend. And when that weekend happens to feature the Irish taking on Miami? Well, you KNOW there are going to be some stories to tell! I'm excited to share that I'll be back at the Hammes Notre Dame Bookstore this Friday, November 6, from 3:30–5:00 PM for a book signing! I'll have all FIVE of my Notre Dame books available for purchase and signing, and I'd love to see you! And speaking of Notre Dame vs. Miami… If you remember the legendary 1988 Catholics vs. Convicts game, you know it was about so much more than football. The intensity. The rivalry. The unforgettable moments. The players who helped make Notre Dame history. I've had the incredible privilege of interviewing former Irish players who were part of that historic game, and some of their behind-the-scenes memories are featured in my books. Those are the kinds of stories I absolutely LOVE preserving and sharing. Because the final score only tells part of the story. It's the people, the friendships, the challenges, and the memories that make Notre Dame football so special. Whether you've read one of my books, have been meaning to pick one up, or just want to stop by and talk a little Irish football, I'd love to visit with you! 📚 BOOK SIGNING DETAILS ☘️ Friday, November 6, 2026 ⏰ 3:30–5:00 PM 📍 Hammes Notre Dame Bookstore — Notre Dame Campus 🏈 Notre Dame vs. Miami Weekend!
