The Notre Dame Fighting Irish football program is one of the most storied in all of college football. With a rich history dating back to the late 19th century, the Irish have won 11 national championships, produced countless legendary players, and experienced some of the most iconic moments in the sport's history.
In the book "Miracle Moments in Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football History," author and lifelong Irish fan John Heisler chronicles the most unforgettable moments in the program's illustrious history. From the early days of Knute Rockne to the modern era of Lou Holtz and Brian Kelly, Heisler paints a vivid picture of the players, coaches, and games that have made Notre Dame a football powerhouse.

Heisler also highlights other classic games in Notre Dame history, including the 1973 "Game of the Century" against USC, the 1989 Fiesta Bowl victory over West Virginia, and the 2012 BCS National Championship Game against Alabama.
Legendary Players and Coaches
In addition to its iconic moments, Notre Dame football history is also defined by its legendary players and coaches. Heisler profiles some of the greatest Irish players of all time, including George Gipp, Knute Rockne, Joe Montana, Tim Brown, and Reggie Bush.
