Ultimate Road Test for Irish

Notre Dame and Brian Kelly will have another opportunity on Saturday night to defeat an elite team when they travel to SEC Country to face the Georgia Bulldogs. The Fighting Irish are heavy underdogs in this contest even though they battled the Dawgs to the wire in a 20-19 loss just two seasons ago. Kirby Smart, who is 35-10 in his fourth season in Athens, has recruited a wealth of talent and is poised to make another playoff run.

The last two Georgia seasons have ended in heartbreaking losses to Alabama, first in the national title game and last December in the conference championship.
