Notre Dame continues a three-game home stand on Saturday when the Irish host in-state neighbor Ball State University. This is the first game between these schools as the Cardinals are a member of the Mid-American Conference. Coach Mike Neu is in his third year at the helm and is coming off an injury-plagued 2-10 record in 2017. This season already looks more promising as Ball State recorded over 650 yards of offense while swamping Central Connecticut by 42-6 in its opener. The Irish are still basking in the glow of their solid victory over Michigan last week. The game will be nationally televised on NBC beginning at 3:30 pm ET.
