"5. Tony Rice, QB, 1987-89: \r\n\tAs a sophomore, Rice got onto the field due to injuries and helped lead the Irish to an 8-4 mark and their first Top 25 ranking in nearly a decade. It was the building block needed to compete for a national title in 1988. With a loaded roster around him, Rice led the Irish to a perfect 12-0 record and the 1988 National Championship over West Virginia. As an encore, Rice won the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, finished fourth in the Heisman Trophy voting and was an All-American following his 12-1 senior season. That one loss coming against Miami in the de facto national title elimination regular-season finale. Rice went 24-1 in his two full seasons as the starter. The Irish champion never made it into the NFL but played professionally in the CFL and the World League.\r\n\r\n\tRelated Content:\r\n\r\n\t\u2022 Notre Dame Fighting Irish 2013 Team Preview\r\n\t\u2022&amp;nbsp;Notre Dame Cheerleader Gallery\r\n\t\u2022&amp;nbsp;5 Greatest Moments in Notre Dame Football History\r\n\t\u2022&amp;nbsp;Ranking All 125 College Football Coaches for 2013\r\n\t\u2022&amp;nbsp;Ranking the Top 50 Quarterbacks of the BCS Era\r\n\t\u2022&amp;nbsp;Ranking the top 50 Running Backs of the BCS Era\r\n\t\u2022&amp;nbsp;10 Teams That Could End the SEC's National Title Run\r\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
