The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are 5-1 and ranked #10 in the country. That’s right... we are halfway through Notre Dame’s college football season as we enter the first week of October. In a lot of ways it means the normal “important November games” are coming up a few weeks earlier than what we might normally see.
So here we are with the Irish going on the road again to face a ranked opponent in a prime time matchup. The Louisville Cardinals are 5-0 and ranked #25 in the polls. While they may not be as dangerous on paper as the Duke Blue Devils were, we’ve seen better lose to worse all over the country for decades.
