3 Straight years the current Stanley Cup champion Chicago Black- hawks began their training camp at Notre Dame. The team practices were held at the Compton Family Ice Arena Sept. 18-20, before the team returned to Chicago for its annual Training Camp Festival Sept. 21. They also were present at the Notre Dame pep rally for the Georgia Tech game. 4 Athletics directors in the Atlantic Coast Conference who are graduates of Notre Dame: Georgia Tech's Mike Bobinski (1979), North Carolina's Bubba Cunningham (1984), Notre Dame's Jack Swarbrick (1976) and Florida State's Stan Wilcox (1981). 16 Days for Clemson to prepare for Notre Dame before hosting it Oct. 3 in Death Valley. The Tigers recorded a 20-17 victory at Louisville Sept. 17 and then had the next two Saturdays off. They are the first of four Irish ACC opponents (joining Pitt, Wake Forest and Boston College) who have a Saturday bye (or in this case two) the week prior to facing Notre Dame. 29 Former Notre Dame players on current NFL rosters, which is the ninth most among colleges, per FOX Sports' Bruce Feldman.

Prosise during the 2-0 start against Texas (98) and Virginia (155).

He rushed for 142 yards against Purdue and then 103 versus Michigan. 1,000,000 Dollars donated Sept. 17 by longtime ESPN college basketball analyst Dick Vitale and his wife, Lorraine, to the University of Notre Dame to provide financial assistance to deserving undergraduate students who have demonstrated need.
