The Summer of Forward Thinking

The Notre Dame Football program is nothing shy of a historic program, making strides to change the game and change with the game. Perhaps it could be argued that Notre Dame Football made the biggest contribution to the game that football has ever seen. Notre Dame Football legends, Knute Rockne and Gus Dorais spent the summer of 1913 in Sandusky, Ohio. Here they spent their time at Cedar Point as life guards. In their free time they worked endlessly to perfect the forward pass. At this time the forward pass was scarcely used in football but by the end of the summer, Notre Dame Football had every intention to change the game.
