Onward to Victory: A Notre Dame Football Podcast

Step back to the very beginning of Notre Dame football as we build an All-1880s/1890s team from the program’s formative years. In an era of short schedules, evolving rules, and true pioneers of the game, we highlight the players, leaders, and personalities who laid the foundation for everything that followed. It’s history, storytelling, and a little roster-building fun all rolled into one - just the way we like it on Onward to Victory!

In this episode of Onward to Victory, we explore Curly Lambeau’s time at Notre Dame during the pivotal 1918 season under Knute Rockne. Before he founded the Green Bay Packers, Lambeau was part of the foundation of a program still defining its identity. One of his touchdowns that season serves as a time capsule from the very beginning of the Rockne era. Enjoy, Irish fans!
