To continue my series on Notre Dame Fighting Irish national title winning seasons, this week I’m going to highlight the 1930 season and the December 6th, ND vs. USC game in Southern California. In their last game of the 1930 season, and what would be the last game that Knute Rockne would coach at Notre Dame prior to his tragic death in a plane crash, the Fighting Irish dominated USC, 27-0, to finish their second undefeated season in a row, and their second national championship winning season in a row.
In that 1930 season, Notre Dame outscored their opponents, 265-74, and won all ten of their games.
