Army and Notre Dame will meet for the 52nd time Saturday. This is one of the longest-standing rivalries in college sports — though the term "rivalry" is doing a lot of heavy lifting, given Notre Dame's historical dominance.
The teams first matched up in 1913 at West Point in New York. But the teams haven't matched up lately; the Black Knights last played the Irish in 2016.
It's been even longer since Army picked up a win in the series. You must go back decades to find the last time the Black Knights prevailed over the Fighting Irish.
That doesn't mean they should be written off Saturday, though. Army enters at No. 19 in the nation and an undefeated 9-0. The Black Knights are still double-digit underdogs to the No. 6 Irish (9-1), but this could be their best chance to win the game in recent memory.
