Game location: Allegiant Stadium (Las Vegas, NV)
Game time/channel: 4:30pm PT/7:30pm ET (NBC & Peacock)
Spread: -3.5 (Notre Dame)
Head coach: Marcus Freeman
Brian Kelly left the program after 11 seasons with the Irish. He will be tough to replace, having won 92 games and gotten the Irish to a BCS National Title game, two College Football Playoffs semifinals, and two other New Year’s Six bowls. Freeman has a tough task ahead of him. The players clearly like him and play hard for their former defensive coordinator.
