Key Matchups: Notre Dame Starts Home Season with First-Ever Matchup Against Marshall

In Saturday’s 2022 home opener for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Marcus Freeman’s squad faces off in the school’s first-ever meeting against the Marshall Thundering Herd. Freeman and the Irish are hoping to bounce back from their opening week loss at Ohio State,

Marshall also began their 2022 campaign last Saturday, though on a happier note by easily dispatching Norfolk State, 55-3. Their contest against Notre Dame is the first of three consecutive road contests and will be against an Irish squad that’s won 31 of their last 33 games at home. Still, the Irish need to get past the painful hangover of their defeat.
