Notre Dame Football hosts Vanderbilt in Week 3. Thursday, Vanderbilt head football coach Derek Mason said at the SEC media day that he “does not worry about going to South Bend”, when asked if he was concerned about his team’s Week 3 matchup with the Irish.
As a Notre Dame fan, when I first read this I was absolutely taken aback. If someone with credibility like a Nick Saban or a Dabo Swinney came out and said that they’re not afraid of coming to South Bend to play Notre Dame, so be it. They run powerhouse programs that consistently challenge for national titles.
