The Notre Dame Fighting Irish end its home schedule this Saturday with a Senior Day visit from the Boston College Eagles. The Irish continue to have an eye on the Cotton Bowl, but with each passing week, the chances get slimmer and slimmer due to the lack of quality Notre Dame plays in November.
The end of the year also brings about new challenges as the Irish try to overcome injuries while continuing to manage their roster for the future. It gets a little tricky when a team loses bodies and wants to keep certain players off the field as to redshirt them for the year.
