The Notre Dame Fighting Irish didn’t deliver a polished performance in defeating Florida State on Saturday by 42-26. Still, three weeks without game action will make teams rough around the edges. Still, the Irish remain undefeated at 3-0 as they prepare to host the Louisville Cardinals on Saturday.
Under second-year-head coach Scott Satterfield, Louisville had been a Top 25 after their opening game win over Western Kentucky but now find themselves out of the loop after three straight losses. The Cardinals’ defense has been the main culprit in the losing streak, allowing nearly 39 points-per-game in the three defeats.
