No, Notre Dame should NOT play BYU every year
The proposal for Notre Dame and BYU to play annually has sparked debate among college football fans. While the two teams have a history of competition, many argue that creating a yearly matchup is unnecessary. The rivalry should remain limited to a few games per decade rather than becoming a regular fixture.
- ▪Notre Dame and BYU have played nine times, with Notre Dame leading the series 7-2.
- ▪The last victory for BYU occurred during the 2004 season, which was also the last season for coach Ty Willingham at Notre Dame.
- ▪The idea of an annual matchup has been discussed for over 20 years, but many fans believe it is not needed.
