Notre Dame's

Knute Rockne

Notre Dame's legendary football coach Knute Rockne was born 120 years ago today. His Fighting Irish went unbeaten and untied for five out of the 13 seasons Rockne led them, winning the last 19 games he coached, and his .881 percentage (100 victories, 12 losses, 5 ties) remains unmatched. Rockne revolutionized the sport: he initiated intersectional rivalries, built the first national games schedule, worked to develop the forward pass, and he used his knowledge of anatomy to design new uniforms and equipment for his team.
