I was at this game. You could HEAR Westbrook's hit throughout the entire stadium. It literally sounded like a car accident, you know, like if a Jeep traveling at 30 miles per hour slammed into a full mailbox. BAM!!! The entire stadium became unravelled at this point and went crazy. The only problem was that Notre Dame got down the field and won on the last drive, I seem to remember a bad roughing the passer call which was BS where Lou Holtz bitched out the officials and then they threw a flag.
He was on his way to become a All Pro before he got hurt, so was LB Reggie Brown!! You gotta feel for The Lions if their picks weren’t bust the ones they got injured and promising careers got cut short!!!
Ur right bout Bryant being the finest DB ever @ Texas but he was drafted #5 overall in the 97' draft..Achilles injury basically ended his career..the year he got hurt he was goin to da probowl..USC was shitty when Bryant was goin to HS..He almost went to Colorado..San Diego State was tryin to get him too cuz Marshall Faulk n Darnay Scott were there but SDSU was small considerin that Bryant was a Parade HS 1st Team All-American..He's my cuzzin n 1 of the best DB's I ever seen and I seen them all
Wow I hadn't seen that hit in over a decade but I still remember it. Just vicious. Would Westbrook be considered an NFL bust? I remember he went to the Lions but hardly ever stood out.
DominicanLou NFL All-Rookie Team in 1997. Pro Bowl alternate in 2000 despite rupturing an Achilles tendon during the season. He was never quite the same, and ruptured his other Achilles tendon in the 2003 pre-season. That ended his career. Not quite a bust, but still not what he could have been.
ND scored 10 points in the final 3 min. They kicked a field goal as time expired. Although they were lucky they kept it close unlike their trip to South Bend the year before.
@@ark42805 Definitely not legal in college these days... Lead with the helmet and left his feet like a projectile. 15 yards and an ejection no question.
yeah i agree westbrook the best underrated db to go 2 texas just imagine him at ss for texas now especially with muschamp texas defense would scare the shit out of everybody laundry jones would shit his pants ha ha
11 National titles for Notre Dame, 4 for Texas 178 All-Americans to 120 All-Americans 7 Heisman winners to 2 Heisman winners But yeah, that was a good hit...
it's amazing how great Westbrook was... i hear people talk about all these players under mack brown at db- aaron ross, jammer, etc... not even close to westbrook, and no one recognizes because he played on sorry teams with a lame coach... im just sayin...
give me a break, notre dame tries giving these schools bids all the time and every one always backs out! i think it was 3 or 4 years ago when i read that lsu was notre dames first game, then lsu backed out. knowbody wants to lose to an independant notre dame, they all want to play withing their little saftey net conference... and by the way, i think your just alittle bitter that ND won this game..
did you know that texas know has more wins than ND and is only second to michigan for all time wins? and to be honest with you, your point is not that good because your saying that ttu beat texas and ND would be able to hang with texas because of that, . . . .well if TTU played ND last year home or away they would have got spanked. so ND would not be able to hang with TEXAS espically.
ND has a very rich tradition in football that no1 can argue with. But you and any ND fan knows they would be huge underdogs if they play Texas in recent history or today. I think Weiss is a false prophet for u guys and the sooner he gets dueced the sooner your rich tradition can get back on track.
i love how you conveniently ignored my other point, probably cuz you know im right, but thats cool either way lets just see who finishes with a better season this year. . . . . .if i were a betting man i gurrantee my money would not be on ND. and oh yeah good luck with michigan chump.
@bestmetallicafan We beat USC in the National Championship and the sad part you guys had home field advantage USC sucks also didn't TCU woop you guys in a bowl game a few years back
Jackson was almost always staunchly anti-ND in his broadcast, so it is not surprising. What is surprising that you forget who won that game. ND did 27-24
Was at this game & still remember this play enough to search it on YT 23 years later.
Keith Jackson makes this clip even better! "Option time.... Whoahooo Helloooo!!!!"
"The important thing right now is to make sure that Randy Kinder can find a place to lay down." LMAO.
Keith Jackson is the best.
27 years later.... Bryant Westbrook brook would've been disqualified for targeting 😲

I was too! It sounded like a baseball bat broke..
gotta love the crowd reaction

Unfortunatey, that hit would be illegal nowadays
was at the game it was a classic i'm a horn fan but would have to say if you are a college football fan you would have love this game.
Unfortunately, injuries derailed Bryant Westbrook's NFL career.
awesome...i love the crowds reaction

Beach ball of a set-up. Thanks so much!
I was at this game, and that was amazing. Wish we had a D like that now.
San Diego County product...still breedin' BALLERS.
Let's get a rematch of that game now and see what happens. Yikes, I sure wouldn't want to be a Notre Dame fan
My dad was at this game and he thought that Bryant killed the guy
And Ohio State, UCLA, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Kansas, Nebraska...
"The important thing right now is to make sure Randy Kinder can find a place to lay down."
thats great!

I remember this game. When the Loins drafted him they showed this play.
RIP Keith Jackson
I can't stop watching this!
Awesome hit! Who won the game?
ND scored 10 points in the final 3 min. They kicked a field goal as time expired. Although they were lucky they kept it close unlike their trip to South Bend the year before.
Is it good coaching to have Ron Powlus running the option?
My friend Christian El is a Texas fan
The original Roy Williams and Sean Taylor
ND would get murdered this season by UT whether on the road or at home
If that hit happened in 2018:
NFL: Hit on defenseless player, 15 yard penalty, possible ejection
NCAA: Tagetting, ejected
@@ark42805 Definitely not legal in college these days...
Lead with the helmet and left his feet like a projectile.
15 yards and an ejection no question.
Why did the LB allow the rb to get 4 yrds untouched before he made a move
And who won the game? Notre Dame, 27-24.
I remember that game. I was a little kid. I think he put another hit on a fullback that game too.
nice hit, but who won that game?
Colt lead the nation last year with 78%
the quarterback set him up to get smashed. nothing the rb could do
I expect to see another big hit like that september 3rd on those irish!
yeah i agree westbrook the best underrated db to go 2 texas just imagine him at ss for texas now especially with muschamp texas defense would scare the shit out of everybody laundry jones would shit his pants ha ha
11 National titles for Notre Dame, 4 for Texas
178 All-Americans to 120 All-Americans
7 Heisman winners to 2 Heisman winners
But yeah, that was a good hit...
\,,/ lets see this again come Sept 5th! \,,/
they're heading there right now and florida is showing signs of weakness.
TTU is a world-class pretender. Elite teams don't get beat by 60 points, nor do they lose to 7-win teams in bowl games.
ummm no. he is the strong safety for the eagles. But yes he is a BAMF.
is that the same westbrook as the rb for the eagles?
No, I think he went to Villanova
This Westbrook played corner for the lions 🦁
The other Westbrook (36) was a running back for the eagles 🦅
thats not westbrook from eagles, buddy
it's amazing how great Westbrook was... i hear people talk about all these players under mack brown at db- aaron ross, jammer, etc... not even close to westbrook, and no one recognizes because he played on sorry teams with a lame coach... im just sayin...
This QB pisses me off ever time I watch this!!! He left his RB out to dry!!!
Sob what a hit
Tech is a joke in the State of Texas
give me a break, notre dame tries giving these schools bids all the time and every one always backs out! i think it was 3 or 4 years ago when i read that lsu was notre dames first game, then lsu backed out. knowbody wants to lose to an independant notre dame, they all want to play withing their little saftey net conference... and by the way, i think your just alittle bitter that ND won this game..
WRONG!!! Villanova buddy.
If powlus didnt pitch the ball...he wuud have been the one that got fukked up...
did you know that texas know has more wins than ND and is only second to michigan for all time wins? and to be honest with you, your point is not that good because your saying that ttu beat texas and ND would be able to hang with texas because of that, . . . .well if TTU played ND last year home or away they would have got spanked. so ND would not be able to hang with TEXAS espically.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!!!!
this guys a coach at our rival high school lol small world

ND has a very rich tradition in football that no1 can argue with. But you and any ND fan knows they would be huge underdogs if they play Texas in recent history or today. I think Weiss is a false prophet for u guys and the sooner he gets dueced the sooner your rich tradition can get back on track.
yes it really was a great game
oh my god!!!
he blew him up
good hit, BUT ND still won
i was @ that game!
they've played 10 times
But the strong safety in me loves it!!!
let me step in here and say that jacory harris is the hottest QB in the NCAA right now!!!!
i love how you conveniently ignored my other point, probably cuz you know im right, but thats cool either way lets just see who finishes with a better season this year. . . . . .if i were a betting man i gurrantee my money would not be on ND. and oh yeah good luck with michigan chump.
nd of course
