Sixth-ranked Notre Dame and Army (19th) travel to Yankee Stadium in New York City on Saturday for a renewal of their historic rivalry. This Shamrock Series game marks the 100th anniversary of the legendary Four Horsemen of Notre Dame. Sportswriter Grantland Rice coined this term for the Fighting Irish backfield after they upset Army by 13-7 in 1924. The Black Knights are 9-0 this season and are riding a 13-game winning streak. Saturday’s game will be broadcast nationally by NBC starting at 7:00 PM Eastern time.
Saturday’s battle is between the second and third ranked defensive teams in terms of fewest points allowed.
