Notre Dame working to avoid letting the environment at FSU become a distraction

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly knows his team faces a tall challenge when they take the field against Florida State in the season opener Sunday night at Doak Campbell Stadium.

“We’re gonna go into an incredible environment in Tallahassee, one where we’ll have to have our football team emotionally in the right place to play in that environment,” Kelly said of the atmosphere he’s expecting for the game against the Seminoles.

No. 9 Notre Dame is making its first trip to Tallahassee since 2014 when the then-No. 2 ranked Seminoles avoided an upset by the fifth-ranked Fighting Irish, 31-27.
