Notre Dame rallied late in the fourth quarter to upset the favored Gators, 39–28.The game is also known as “The Cheerios Bowl,” due to the comment a waiter supposedly told Irish head coach Lou Holtz at a restaurant that “the difference between Cheerios and Notre Dame is that Cheerios belong in a bowl.”
