1930 ND Champs salute tough SMU Mustangs

[Water Pony]

Great shout out to the Mustangs from SMU during Notre Dame's path to their 1930 National Championship. BTW, our game opened the current ND Stadium. Cool!

Ever eager to create a national schedule, Notre Dame invited Southern Methodist University of Dallas to open the home season. The opening game was October 4, 1930 and the stadium and its glory exceeded the patrons’ expectations. The SMU squad played with a ferocity worthy of their Mustang mascot, but the Irish prevailed 20-14.
