The Notre Dame Fighting Irish will face the Illinois Illini on the road in the 2015 edition of the ACC-Big Ten Challenge.
The Irish learned who another high major OOC opponent would be yesterday when the pairings in the 2015 edition of the ACC-Big Ten Challenge were announced. After beating Michigan State at home in an OT thriller last season, ND will travel to Illinois in next season's Challenge. The game will take place at Illinois' newly remodeled State Farm Center on December 2. The Illini had a disappointing 2014/15 season which saw them finish with a 19-14 overall record and a 9-9 mark in Big Ten play.
