Starting the home portion of the 2023 campaign this Saturday, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish find themselves as prohibitive favorites against the Tennessee State Tigers. The end result shouldn’t be in doubt in this history-making outing which pits the Irish against an HBCU team for the first time ever.
Notre Dame will have the challenge of trying to improve upon their performance in Ireland last Saturday when the Irish coasted over the Navy Midshipmen in a 42-3 rout. In contrast, Tennessee State will be taking the field for the first time this season. Tigers head coach Eddie George, the former Heisman winner from Ohio State, is hoping that his third season at the helm will see an improvement on last year’s 4-7 mark.
