Louisville (3-0) travels to South Bend, IN, hoping to spoil Notre Dame’s (3-1) playoff chances. With a home loss to Northern Illinois, Notre Dame needs to all but win out to have an opportunity to qualify for the playoffs this season.
The Fighting Irish know how dangerous the Cardinals are, having lost to them last season. Two new offensive faces lead this year’s Cardinals team. Tyler Shough and Ja’Corey Brooks have helped propel this team to a 3-0 record.
After beating the Fighting Irish last season and earning a trip to the ACC Championship game, Louisville should enter South Bend with a ton of confidence this weekend. It could be another big year for Jeff Brohm and the Cardinals.
