Friends, it’s somehow Thursday once again, which means we’re just a couple days away from yet another Notre Dame Fighting Irish football game. And this one, y’all, is a pretty big one.
Your 3-1, 16th-ranked Irish are playing host to the #15, undefeated Louisville Cardinals in a matchup that will make or break Notre Dame’s fragile chances of making the College Football Playoff. That Northern Illinois loss 3 weeks ago immediately created a situation where ND would likely need to win out and go 11-1 on the year, and looking at the remaining 8 games, this contest with Jeff Brohm’s program is easily the toughest test left on the schedule.
