Suppose The 1894 Notre Dame football team was an American football team that represented the University of Notre Dame in the 1894 college football season. In its first season with a coach (James L. Morison), the team compiled a 3–1–1 record and outscored its opponents by a combined total of 80 to 31.
Can we infer that "1894 was the first year that Notre Dame had a football team."? Yes, no, or maybe?
