Sometimes it's nice to just take a quick departure from the current time and look at something from years ago.

For college football fans, the Twitter/X account College Football Classics does exactly that multiple times a day. The account posts videos, usually old SportsCenter highlight packages of games from years ago.

On Thursday, Notre Dame's 1995 game against USC was featured as it was between an unbeaten and fifth-ranked USC team and a two-loss Fighting Irish squad in South Bend.

Despite the difference in ranking and Notre Dame having two losses, the domination was on full display, much like last year's meeting between the rivals. Check it out below.

The Kinnon Tatum hit at the 35-second mark will always be on my short list of favorite Notre Dame plays. Total momentum turner in what wound up being a 38-10 blowout.
