Texas and Notre Dame each will battle for second place on the all-time wins list on Saturday, but that's the only thing these two teams have in common.
After a finishing the season strong against LSU in the Music City Bowl, Notre Dame's Brian Kelly returns one of the most experienced rosters in the country. That, along with the emergence of quarterback Malik Zaire, has the Fighting Irish within a stone's throw of a top-10 ranking.
Charlie Strong doesn't have it quite so good. A weak 2014 finish has many looking down on the Longhorns, who will replace 10 starters from last year's 6-7 squad.
