The Notre Dame Fighting Irish head to unique surroundings for the 11th edition of the Shamrock Series when they face the BYU Cougars at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The Irish have yet to end up on the losing end of a Shamrock clash and will be coming off a bye week, a scheduling position in which they’ve thrived.
BYU head coach Kalani Sitake is beginning his seventh year at the school this season and has compiled a 48-29 record during his career with the Cougars. Last year’s 10-3 record marked the second straight year and fifth winning season during his tenure, though the year ended on a down note with a loss in the Independence Bowl.
