The phrase “Game of the Century” is often used lightly—but in the case of the 1946 showdown between Notre Dame and Army, it was more than deserved. Two undefeated powerhouses met on the grand stage of Yankee Stadium, with national title implications and the eyes of the college football world upon them. Though the scoreboard stayed frozen at 0-0, this clash remains one of the most legendary games ever played. It wasn’t about scoring—it was about grit, pride, and a battle between future Hall of Famers on both sides of the ball. The Fighting Irish had been humiliated by Army the previous two seasons, but in this fiercely contested matchup, they reclaimed their dignity and proved they belonged among the nation’s elite.
