When Frank Leahy's Irish opened its 1953 season with a one touchdown win over Oklahoma, nothing seemed so unusual about it. After all, Notre Dame had beaten the Sooners in the last month of the previous season by a virtually identical score. But as it turned out, beating that Oklahoma team was no common feat. Bud Wilkinson's squad was tied by Pittsburgh the next week, but then went on a tear which didn't end until they had won 47 straight games---a record which still stands. And who finally ended that streak? Three guesses---and we have that game, too.
