As we count down to the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame facing off against Army 100 years after their historic meeting at the Polo Grounds in 1924, it’s only fitting that this week’s Throwback Thursday revisits one of the most iconic games in college football history. On October 18, 1924, Knute Rockne’s Notre Dame squad faced Army in front of 60,000 spectators in New York City. This matchup, etched in the annals of football lore, was more than just a game—it was a showcase of grit, precision, and the poetic athleticism of Notre Dame’s backfield. The “Four Horsemen,” immortalized for their brilliance, led the charge against Army’s valiant defense, demonstrating why they would become legends.
