That was followed by a scoreless tie in 1965. All three of those games were in Miami. Notre Dame then won the next 11 meetings between the schools.
After playing every five years with the commencement of the rivalry, the teams played again in 1967. Their next meeting was in 1971. That began a 20-year span of playing every year but 1986. Notre Dame’s 11 game winning streak occurred between 1967-80. Five of those games were played at the Orange Bowl.
