Notre Dame does not play tomorrow. No Irish opponent plays tomorrow. Aside from linebacker Jordan Genmark Heath starting for UCLA, there may be no Notre Dame connections in this week zero.
Though, there is an Irish connection. Nebraska and Illinois are allowed to play this early week only because that contest was originally slated for Dublin.
Anyway, college football has returned. Buckle up. Enjoy. And don’t miss much. The distortion of time in the last 18 months will dissipate a touch in football season. The next 14 weeks will go quickly, the rhythm of pregame preview into recap into mid-week chatter into pregame preview has already started to gain hold.
