The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are back at home again this week to take on the Louisville Cardinals in the first ND/ACC matchup of the year. Notre Dame is still looking to put the NIU game in the rearview mirror, but they’ll have a big test against a team that took them down last season.
Notre Dame is still very much in the hunt for a home playoff game this season, but they will need to get a lot better in the passing game to do it. With the weather forecast calling for a lot of wind — this might not be the day that the passing game takes off.
