1957 vs. Oklahoma - Ending The Streak - 125 Years of Notre Dame Football - Moment

On Nov. 16, 1957 an unranked Notre Dame football team traveled to #2 Oklahoma. In a defensive battle, the Irish ended OU's 47-game win streak with a 7-0 victory - a streak bookended by ND victories over the Sooners. Follow along with 125 Years of Notre Dame Football at 125.nd.edu and #NDFB125.

I'm a Sooner fan, I live in Oklahoma and I have the 1956 and 1957 ou vs notre dame programs. The 1957 program has 2 tickets stapled inside. Boomer Sooner

I like how Oklahoma had a 47 game winning streak, yet were only ranked #2 in the nation. And you think the polls are messed up now?

[@gregfrank4115]

Texas A & M, under Bear Bryant, were #1 and undefeated - however, this week Bryant confirmed he was leaving the Aggies to return to alma mater Alabama for the 1958 season. While Notre Dame was beating Oklahoma, Rice was upsetting A & M 7-6. In a bizarre week of games, Ohio State upset Iowa 17-13 to clinch the Big Ten title and a Rose Bowl berth. But who was number #1 after this week? Michigan State, who had been #4, defeated Minnesota and moved up to #1 in the polls, but had already lost the Big Ten title to Ohio State, who was now #3. Strange is right.

Ou had the sign ,"play like a champion today." First.

Interesting, I wasn't aware that the Irish seemed to have control of this game as seen with the two missed scoring opportunities. The lack of showboating after the touchdown and game-sealing interception is so refreshing.

You received your wish: 30-13. How the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame could be close to two touchdown underdogs with a defense like they have is beyond some of us.

Would love to see a repeat of this tomorrow!
