Notre Dame hosts its final home game of the month before spending two weekends on the road as the Fighting Irish host the Louisville Cardinals on Saturday. These teams played last year in the season opener, which was the inaugural game for head coach Bob Satterfield. Notre Dame won by 35-17, but the contest was more competitive than expected. The 2020 Irish remain undefeated with last week’s victory over Florida State, although the defense played poorly following a three-week forced hiatus due to COVID-19. The NBC network will televise this game beginning at 2:30 PM Eastern time.
Satterfield led Louisville to an 8-5 record last season after taking over a badly broken 2-10 program.
