WHO? No. 7 Notre Dame (1-0) vs.New Mexico (1-0).
WHAT? Aside from the obvious, perhaps the item most on the line today is the Irish winning streak at Notre Dame Stadium, currently at 11 games and the third-longest in program history. If Notre Dame can win all seven home games this season, it will come within one of the second-longest streak, held by Lou Holtz’s peak teams from 1987-90. This space expects as much, per its preseason predictions.
When Kelly first arrived, the Irish went 6-5 in their first 11 games.
