After consecutive, huge national matchups for Notre Dame football, Bowling Green comes to town in what should be the ultimate cool down game.
Bowling Green doesn’t have the underrated quarterback Virginia does. They certainly don’t have the athletes that Georgia does. They don’t even have an experienced head coach like New Mexico does.
They do, however, have a guy that knows a lot about Notre Dame: defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder.
VanGorder was on the Notre Dame staff from 2014-2016 and had been with Brian Kelly going back to Grand Valley State. He leads a defense that is the strength of the team, ranked 76th in total defense.
