Desmond Ridder and #7 Cincinnati are making their first trip to Notre Dame Stadium (Cincinnati made one trip to Notre Dame in 1900 before Notre Dame Stadium existed). The Bearcat quarterback is talking a big game ahead of his first trip to the House that Rockne built. Ridder had a bold prediction when speaking to the media on Tuesday.
Ridder told WLWT TV’s Brandon Saho that after Cincinnati OC Mike Denbrock, a former Notre Dame assistant, told him Notre Dame Stadium would be loud on Saturday, he didn’t think it would be loud long.
Well, file this under something that is harmless but will be brought up many times this week and will undoubtedly be thrown back at Ridder if Marcus Freeman’s defense does anything close to him what they did to Wisconsin’s Graham Mertz last week.
