SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- It's hard to live in the moment at Notre Dame, where the past stares back everywhere you turn.
A statue of the Four Horsemen and a line of Heisman Trophies greet Notre Dame players in the lobby of the Guglielmino Athletic Complex in South Bend, Indiana. When players grab a bite at Smashburger at the LaFortune Student Center, they see walls lined with pictures commemorating the greatest Notre Dame teams and legends.
The distant past isn't top of mind for the 2018 Fighting Irish, although they're well aware the program hasn't won a national championship in 30 years.
