<P> The Fighting Irish and Falcons first met in 1964, with the Fighting Irish prevailing 34--7, and proceeded to play each other annually from 1972--91 (they didn't meet in 1976). Notre Dame won the first 11 contests before Gerry Faust's teams lost four straight in the early 1980s . One of the most memorable games was the 1975 contest in which Notre Dame, trailing 30--10 in the fourth quarter, rallied behind Joe Montana for a 31--30 comeback win . In the match - up in 2007, the Fighting Irish came into the game matching their worst start in Notre Dame history with a 1--8 record . The Falcons won for the first time since 1996, 41--24, the largest margin of victory for Air Force in six wins over the Fighting Irish, the biggest by a military academy since Navy beat the Fighting Irish 35--14 in 1963 behind Roger Staubach, and the first time that Air Force had ever scored 40 points in a game against Notre Dame . It marked the first time Notre Dame had lost to two service academies in the same season since 1944 and it was also a school - record sixth straight home loss for the Fighting Irish . Notre Dame leads the series 24--6 . In 2010, Notre Dame and Air Force agreed to a home - and - home football series starting with the 2011 season . The series began when Air Force visited Notre Dame Stadium on October 8, 2011, with Notre Dame prevailing 59--33 . The series finale was a 45--10 Notre Dame win at Falcon Stadium on October 26, 2013 . </P> <P> Notre Dame and Florida State have met eight times, first when both were strong independents and now as part of Notre Dame's commitment to scheduling ACC schools . This series began in South Bend, in 1981 . Florida State won 19--13 . Notre Dame won the second contest, however, in 1993, in South Bend, by a score of 31--24 . The contest was referred to by some as "The Game of the Century ." Florida State was, at the time, ranked #1 and Notre Dame was ranked #2 . Although Notre Dame beat FSU again, in Tallahassee, in 2002 (by a score of 34--24), Florida State has won five of the last six meetings (1994, 1995, 2003, 2011, 2014), including two bowl victories (the January 1996 Orange Bowl and the 2011 Champs Sports Bowl). The two teams are currently scheduled to meet again, during the regular season, in 2018, 2021 and 2024 . Florida State leads the series 6--2 . </P> <P> This series began in 1922 . The Yellow Jackets were a longtime rival of the Fighting Irish and the two teams met periodically on an annual basis over the years, particularly from 1963 to 1981 when both schools were independents following Tech's departure from the Southeastern Conference . The 1975 Georgia Tech - Notre Dame game marked the sole appearance in an Irish uniform of Rudy Ruettiger, the subject of the film Rudy . When Georgia Tech joined the Atlantic Coast Conference beginning in 1982, they were forced to end the series after 1981 because of scheduling difficulties . Consequently, the two teams have met very infrequently since then . Georgia Tech was the opponent in the inaugural game in the newly expanded Notre Dame Stadium in 1997, then a year later they met again in the Gator Bowl . The Fighting Irish and Yellow Jackets met in the 2006 and 2007 season openers and split both games . Notre Dame leads the series 29--6--1 . The rivalry resumed in 2015 with a 30--22 Irish win in South Bend, and will continue on a semi-regular basis thereafter, due to Notre Dame's current commitment to scheduling several ACC opponents each season . </P> <P> The series with the University of Miami Hurricanes began in 1955 . They met three times in Miami during the 1960s (1960, 1965 and 1967), then played each other annually from 1971--90, except in 1986, during a period when the two were among college football's strongest independents . Throughout the 1970s, this series was dominated by Notre Dame . Traditionally, it was the season - ending game for the Fighting Irish in odd - numbered years, as they sought to end each season at a warm - weather site . Miami holds the distinction of being the only team to shut out Notre Dame during the Ara Parseghian (0--0 in 1965), Gerry Faust (20--0 in 1983) and Lou Holtz (24--0 in 1987) eras . During the 1980s, this once - docile rivalry intensified . Both teams were national contenders in the later part of the decade, and both teams cost each other at least one national championship . Hostilities were fueled when the Hurricanes routed the Fighting Irish in the 1985 season finale 58--7, with Miami widely accused of running up the score in the second half . The rivalry gained national attention and both teams played their most famous games from 1988--90 . The first game was won by the Fighting Irish 31--30, with Miami ending Notre Dame's record 23 - game winning streak the following year, 27--10 . The rivalry ended after the Fighting Irish dashed #2 Miami's hopes for a repeat national championship with a 29--20 victory in South Bend . Miami dropped off the Irish's schedule when it joined the Big East Conference . The Fighting Irish and Hurricanes met again, in the 2010 Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas, where Notre Dame defeated Miami 33--17 . In 2012, Notre Dame defeated Miami 41--3 at Soldier Field . Notre Dame leads the series 18--7--1 . The teams met most recently in 2017, with Miami winning 41 - 8, and will continue to meet at least once every three years afterward as part of Notre Dame's current commitment to schedule several ACC opponents each year . </P>
