This game had been scheduled for 11/23/63 but was postponed to 11/28 because of the Kennedy assassination. We gained "revenge" for the controversial 1961 loss at Notre Dame but I'm not sure how many people cared at that point. [media=youtube]WxIT_uHxPnc[/media] Jim Nance is the fullback here. #44 is Bill Schoonover, who had the number between Ernie Davis and Floyd Little. The '63 team, like the '67 team, went 8-2 but not to a bowl for reason that are hard to understand, even with the limited number of bowls in those days. Notre Dame was 2-7 that year but there are several familiar names on the team. They became familiar when Ara Parseghian took over the next year and went 9-1 with the same players. [/QUOTE]
