FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (WNDU) - Notre Dame faced Arkansas for the first time in program history on Saturday, and of course legendary head coach Lou Holtz was in attendance since he coached both programs.

He was named the honorary captain for the game.

He spoke about his time with both programs.

“When I went to the University of Notre Dame, it was very similar to Arkansas except we were a national school and wherever you went you represented Notre Dame,” Holtz said. “Wherever you went in this state, you represented the University of Arkansas. So, being able to handle that, I feel a lot of success we had at Notre Dame can definitely be attributed to the seven years I spent here at Arkansas.”

Holtz was head coach at Arkansas from 1977-83. He was Notre Dame’s head coach from 1986-96.
