The 1967 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team represented the University of Notre Dame as an independent during the 1967 NCAA University Division football season. Led by fourth-year head coach Ara Parseghian, the Fighting Irish compiled a record of 8âÂÂ2.
USC won at Notre Dame for the first time since 1939, ending a string of 10 consecutive losses at Notre Dame Stadium. Despite entering the game ranked No. 1, the Trojans were a 12-point underdog against the No. 5 Fighting Irish, who committed nine turnovers (including seven intercepted passes).
This was Notre Dame's 500th all-time football victory. The attendance of 60,034 was the largest at any football game in Georgia up to that point.
The crowd of 77,265 was the largest to attend a football game in Florida at the time. This was Notre Dame's third Friday night game in history; the others were in 1951 at Detroit and 1955 at Miami.
