Texas football continues to add intriguing future non-conference games, this time with Notre Dame coming on future schedules.

Then the series moved to Dallas, where Texas and Notre Dame played three famous Cotton Bowls in the 1970. With the Irish playing in their first bowl game in almost 20 years, the Horns beat Notre Dame 21-17 in 1970. The Horns would go on to win their second unanimous national championship in seven seasons.

Even without Army QB Bryson Daily able to play, the Black Knights still rolled rival Air Force, but Navy fell in a weird game at Rice that was delayed 5+ hours due to weather. With Navy’s loss, Notre Dame’s opponents fell to 2-6 the game after playing the Irish, which speaks to the physicality that Notre Dame plays with.
