SOUTH BEND, IND. — For Georgia Tech B-Back Patrick Skov, going to Notre Dame as a road team favorite was a familiar experience.
The Fighting Irish twice in their long history have been home underdogs while also ranked in the top 10. Last year against Stanford. And Saturday, with the Yellow Jackets coming in as 2 ½-point favorites and the Irish ranked No. 8.
Skov can say he has been on the field for both historic occasions. And both were difficult experiences.
Last season with Stanford, which lost at Notre Dame 17-14, Skov was the blocking fullback who barely dented the stat sheet.
