The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are 1-0 and ranked #5 in the country after getting a well-earned win over the Texas A&M Aggies in College Station. There was a ton of pressure on the Irish to secure a win in what many considered to be the toughest game on their schedule — and they more than passed the test.
Now there’s a new type of test. The Irish return to South Bend for the home opener against the MAC’s Northern Illinois Huskies in a game that is about the complete opposite of the one that they just played.
