SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Notre Dame football dives into a season loaded with expectations with a prime-time matchup against Texas on Saturday.
The marquee meeting pits the Irish, the second-most successful FBS program with 882 wins, against the Longhorns, the No. 3 school with 881 wins, under the lights at Notre Dame Stadium. It’s such a high-profile clash that Texas head coach Charlie Strong has been showing his Longhorns video clips of both programs, not shying away from the game’s magnitude.
“I just wanted to take them back so they could go back and just realize what they're stepping into and just how big this game is,” Strong told reporters Monday.
