The Book of Revelations tells of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. These four horsemen are metaphorical, referring to conquest, war, famine, and disease. Less metaphorical than the four horsemen of the Apocalypse are the four horsemen of Notre Dame. Together, the four horsemen dominated college football, and led Notre Dame football to the 1924 Rose Bowl and eventually the National Championship.
In terms of Notre Dame lore, the Four Horsemen have done more for the Irish than just about any other players. Joe Montana, Joe Theisman, Alan Page, Tim Brown, Leon Hart, or the countless other stars don’t compare to the mystique surrounding the Four Horsemen of Notre Dame.
