  The 1946 Army vs. Notre Dame Game

  Aug 6, 20262h 16m

  Gridiron America is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear . EPISODE SUMMARY In this episode, we time travel back to November 9, 1946, in the first of our planned public domain Gridiron America time capsule episodes, and put the listener in front of their AM radio as number one ranked Army battles number two ranked Notre Dame at Yankee Stadium, in front of a packed house of 74,121. Going into this match up, both teams were undefeated, and averaged over 30 points a game going into the game. Army had a 25-game winning streak, last losing to Notre Dame in 1943 (26–0), but had won the last two contests between the schools by scores of 59–0 and 48–0. Army had the defending Heisman Trophy winner, Doc Blanchard, also known as "Mr. Inside", the man who would win it that year, Glenn Davis, also known as "Mr. Outside", and one of the nation's top quarterbacks in Arnold Tucker. Notre Dame had the quarterback who would win the Heisman the next year, Johnny Lujack, and end Leon Hart of Notre Dame won the Heisman in 1949 (the only time ever that a college football game had four Heisman Trophy winners). Lujack, along with several other teammates and coach Frank Leahy, had returned to the team for the 1946 season after serving in World War II. Both Tucker and Lujack were also outstanding defensive backs at a time when football players, college as well as professional, usually played both offense and defense.
