This week is the fourth week in my series on Notre Dame Fighting Irish national title winning seasons, and this week I’m going to highlight the 1943 season and the October 9th, ND vs. Michigan game in Ann Arbor. The 1943 Irish squad was coached by Frank Leahy, and they finished the season with nine wins and one loss (to Great Lakes), and were crowned national champions. They were the fourth Irish squad to win a national title, and it was the first for Frank Leahy. Lead by quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Angelo Bertelli, Notre Dame beat seven teams ranked in the top 13 and played seven games on the road.
