While this weekends matchup with Bowling Green won’t be the bump in the road that derails everything, it’s certainly an important game for the Notre Dame football team.
From this game, Notre Dame’s coaching staff will want two things. First, they want to come out injury-free. Secondly, prepare for the future.
Of course, Notre Dame will want to try some things out this week with the vision of being able to accomplish later this season. But the likely blowout also provides a great opportunity for the future Notre Dame starters to get valuable playing time on the field as well.
