The Notre Dame football schedule is set to get started under the lights on Labor Day when they face the Louisville Cardinals in a road matchup. The clash comes with a host of different intriguing storylines, with the debut of new Cardinals head coach Scott Satterfield being one of the most prominent. Satterfield took over after Louisville’s disastrous 2018 campaign, one in which they went 2-10, letting go of former coach Bobby Petrino after a 2-8 start.
Louisville’s 2018 season opening 51-14 loss to Alabama served as a microcosm of the entire season, one in which defense was non-existent during the second half of the year.
