History

Historical Context

Notre Dame’s 41-13 win over Wisconsin echoes the program’s 1970 national-title season, when Ara Parseghian led an unbeaten 11-0 team to a 38-28 victory over USC and topped the AP poll. Parseghian’s era, noted for a .836 winning percentage, set a standard of dominance that today’s coach Marcus Freeman cites as a model for playoff ambitions.
