The most important regular season game for Notre Dame will happen later tonight, as the Fighting Irish are battling for their College Football Playoff lives against the No. 1 Miami Hurricanes in South Bend.
It’s already been a fun filled day, as ESPN College GameDay was in town, as actor and comedian and Irish fan Jason Sudeikis helped the panel pick games for this weekend. Not only that, the multiple tributes to Lou Holtz honoring his legacy and the epic “Catholics vs. Convicts” game of 1988. The parallels are interesting, as that was the last time Notre Dame won a title.
