No. 8 Notre Dame remained undefeated on Saturday night by beating No. 7 Stanford 38-17 but the most impressive thing the Irish did at the stadium might have occurred at halftime when both teams were in the locker room.
A primetime game in South Bend combined with hosting a rival made for the perfect time for the school to honor the 2018 Notre Dame women’s basketball national championship win over Mississippi State this past spring. The victory gave the program their second NCAA championship in the sport and was only made possible thanks to an incredible shot from Arike Ogunbowale in the closing seconds.
As part of the festivities honoring the team on Saturday, Notre Dame’s band put together an impressive halftime program that included recreating the entire sequence of Ogunbowale’s shot on the field. The video is below and you can fast-forward to about the seven-minute mark to see it all unfold as it’s a pretty impressive bit of choreography:
Naturally, the entire performance concluded with ‘We Are the Champions’ and head coach Muffet McGraw leading the school fight song.
