Former Notre Dame quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Lujack died Tuesday. He was 98.
Lujack is one of the most legendary players in Notre Dame history and his college career was sandwiched around World War II. He won the 1947 Heisman Trophy as a senior ahead of Michigan running back Bob Chappuis and Notre Dame finished atop the AP Top 25 in each of his three seasons as the team's starting QB.
Notre Dame lost just one game in Lujack’s three seasons at quarterback and didn’t lose at all in his final two seasons. The Irish went 9-1 in 1943 with a 19-14 loss to Great Lakes Navy to end the season. The Irish were 8-0-1 in 1946 and won five straight games to start the season before a 0-0 tie with Army. The Irish allowed just 24 points all season long and no opponent scored more than six in a single game.
