The Notre Dame Fighting Irish get the home portion of their 2019 schedule underway with a game that really shouldn’t be much of a challenge with their opponent being the New Mexico Lobos. Unfortunately, former Notre Dame coach Bob Davie won’t be on the sidelines after enduring a health scare in the Lobos’ opener. The one danger in this contest is that the Irish could be more focused on the stiff challenge they face next week when they travel to face the Georgia Bulldogs.
Brian Kelly’s squad is coming off an inconsistent, though winning effort at Louisville on Labor Day.
