NBC's first year as the exclusive home of Notre Dame home games would see the Vols snap a 7-game winning streak for the Irish with a 35-34 victory. Trivia Note: For NBC's first season covering Notre Dame, they used the lead NFL crew of Dick Enberg and Bill Walsh to cover the Fighting Irish; resulting in them missing three straight weeks of NFL coverage (including this week; with the game this came from - which probably would have been called by them - having Marv Albert and Paul Maguire in D.C.)
