Notre Dame hosts the South Florida Bulls of the American Athletic Conference on Saturday in a hastily-arranged matchup that was announced on August 27. Both teams won their respective openers last week as the Fighting Irish beat Duke and the Bulls manhandled The Citadel. The game will be televised on the USA network, which is owned by NBC Universal and carried on most cable outlets. Game time is 2:30 PM EDT.
Jeff Scott, 39, became the head coach at USF during the offseason. This is his first opportunity to lead a program, but he has outstanding credentials. Scott was a member of the Clemson football staff at his alma mater since 2008.
