The Notre Dame football team survived an upset bid from one of the best teams in the Mid-American Conference, Toledo, 31-29.
Saturday’s tilt with Toledo was supposed to help the Notre Dame football team tune-up for the remainder of the 2021 slate. However, it quickly turned into another battle for survival. The Rockets played a sensational game and will likely compete for the MAC championship this season.
