Looking for the same level of success that they had in their meeting last year, Notre Dame football gets the 2016 season underway with a road meeting against the Texas Longhorns. Last year’s Notre Dame vs Texas meeting was a 38-3 cakewalk for the Irish under the Golden Dome.
That rout served as a window into the long year the Texas defense would have, allowing 30 or more points six times. As the Notre Dame opponent this week, they’re looking to avoid déjà vu in front of a friendly Austin crowd.
Texas Players to Watch
Some of loudest cheers likely to be be heard for the Texas defense will be directed at a pair of sophomore linebackers, Malik Jefferson and Anthony Wheeler.
