Notre Dame's Lou Holtz says rivalry with Miami needs cooling-down period after 1988 game (SN Archive — 1988)

Following a heated 31-30 victory over top-ranked Miami, Notre Dame head coach Lou Holtz suggested that the two programs should consider a hiatus from their series to allow tensions to subside. The intense matchup, which saw the Fighting Irish snap the Hurricanes' 36-game regular-season win streak, was marred by a pregame altercation and persistent animosity between the sides.

Quarterback Steve Walsh led Miami with 424 passing yards and four touchdowns, though he also threw three interceptions, including a 60-yard pick-six by Pat Terrell. Notre Dame quarterback Tony Rice contributed 195 passing yards, while the Irish defense sealed the win by stopping a late two-point conversion attempt by the Hurricanes.
