Runscott- Yes, Notre Dame was unbeatable and I always loved that 1966 team with the super sophs- Hanratty and Seymour.
The other team that we found tough to beat was 1969 Texas, just run-run-run! Ouch! As an Arkansas fan the Longhorns were the team I wanted to beat.
I can remember the 1966 ND-Michigan State game. At that time the Irish had a HUGE radio network including a station here in Hot Springs, AR. I was assigned leaf raking that day by my Dad. Here we got something like Texas Tech and Rice as our game with the big game on tape delay. I raked all the leaves in a pile, got in the middle with my transistor radio and listened to the Irish and Spartans.
Back to the SI College game, I have always guessed that a Notre Dame grad was involved in the design!
