Notre Dame-Syracuse: A football history over 100 years old

They’ve only met 10 times but their history together dates back over 100 years.

Notre Dame and Syracuse is a football series that dates back over 100 years, but also one that saw breaks in it 47 years and another 40.

Notre Dame will make just their third trip to Syracuse in program history this weekend, the first taking place all the way back in 1914.  Notre Dame won that one 20-0 as it concluded a 6-2 campaign for the team that was still not even known as the Fighting Irish at that point.

It’d be 47 more years until the teams met again, this one a much closer Notre Dame victory, 17-15 in the two’s first meeting at Notre Dame Stadium in 1961.  Two years later the Irish made the return trip to Syracuse where they lost 14-7, and that was that for this series for 40 years.

Below are the details of the most recent results between Notre Dame and Syracuse as they prep to meet for the 11th time.
