Presented is a 1988 Lou Holtz Notre Dame spring football defensive playbook, from the National Championship season. The yellow vinyl three-ring binder features multiple sections and pages of diagrams with explanatory text. These were the plays used in spring football camp, ahead of the Fighting Irish's National Championship season later that year. 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. This item comes with a LOA from Lou Holtz, and 100% of the net proceeds from the sale of this item will benefit the Holtz Charitable Foundation, Inc.
