We are going to know what kind of football team Notre Dame is going to be very early on Saturday afternoon. And not just because of the earlier than normal kickoff (it kicks off at 2:30 instead of the normal 3:30 home start). After last week’s let down and near disaster against Ball State, the 2018 Notre Dame Fighting Irish have their backs against the wall at an early season juncture no one quite anticipated. How they respond will give us a good indication of what kind of team the Irish have.
A week ago at this time Notre Dame was sky high coming off a huge win over then #14 Michigan to open the season.
