This week is the sixth week in my series on Notre Dame Fighting Irish national title winning seasons, and this week I’m going to highlight the 1947 match-up between Notre Dame and Nebraska. In the 1947 season, coached by Frank Leahy, the season ended with nine wins and zero losses. It was the second national title for Leahy and his lads. The 1947 team was cited by Sports Illustrated as the part of the second best sports dynasty of the 20th century and second greatest college football dynasty.
Below is the Notre Dame vs. Nebraska game summary from the 1947 Notre Dame Football Review, written by Ed Snyder.
