Yes, yes it was

Hentrich was injured, and a walk-on (Pendergast, I think) missed a field goal at the end of the game. Later commentary talked about how fortunate Tennessee was that ND's walkon backup kicker was kicking into the south end zone, rather than at Touchdown Jesus.

At any rate, we lost. I still hate Johnny Majors.

Then the Irish lost the next week, on the road and by a lot, to Penn State. We used to use other descriptors of that game, but those graphical references have not aged well in light of Penn State's issues.

Then the #18 Irish received an invite to take on Steve Spurrier's #3 Gators in New Orleans. That game remains the greatest ND victory I have ever attended in person - even better than the November 1993 FSU game. Spurrier was a better villain than Bowden, and New Orleans was a better venue than South Bend.
