Notre Dame hosts Marshall University in its home opener on Saturday afternoon in search of its first victory in the Marcus Freeman era. The Fighting Irish earned national respect last week in a tough road loss to Ohio State while identifying several areas where improvement is required. The Thundering Herd is coming off a lopsided win over Norfolk State but they will step up to the heavyweight class in South Bend. The game will be nationally televised by NBC starting at 2:30 PM Eastern time.
All eyes will be on the Irish offense this week. The performance of the offensive line left much to be desired in Columbus.
