2023 MAC Football Week 3 Game Preview: Central Michigan Chippewas at Notre Dame Fighting Irish

The Central Michigan Chippewas (1-1) are set to travel just over the Michigan/Indiana border to take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (2-0) for the first time in program history, joining the Irish in waking the echos of college football in front of the world-famous Touchdown Jesus.

CMU is coming off a walk-off field-goal victory against an extremely tough 45-42 New Hampshire squad, while Notre Dame traveled to Raleigh, North Carolina to effecively snuff out the NC State Wolfpack with a 45-24 victory.

The Irish will come into this contest as the ninth-ranked team in the Associated Press poll, so this is a team which is very capable of making a run should they find the right gears.
