The 1988 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team represented the University of Notre Dame during the 1988 college football season. The Irish, coached by Lou Holtz, ended the season with 12 wins and no losses, winning the national championship. The Fighting Irish won the title by defeating the previously unbeaten and No. 3 ranked West Virginia Mountaineers in the Sunkist Fiesta Bowl in Tempe, Arizona by a score of a 34-21. The 1988 squad, one of 11 national title squads for the Irish, is considered to be one of the best undefeated teams in the history of college football. Offered here is a full-sized replica helmet signed by legendary coach Lou Holtz (adding a "Play like a champion" inscription) and five players - Chris Zorich, Michael Stonebreaker, Ricky Watters, Rockey Ismail, and Tony Rice. In fine condition and accompanied by a COA from James Spence Authentication (JSA).
