While it was just the fifth ever meeting between Notre Dame and Louisville on Saturday afternoon, the two teams clearly do not care much for each other.
The two teams have alternated hosting a budding rivalry that started in 2014, as the Irish broke the series tie to take a 3-2 advantage after their 31-24 victory. It was somewhat of a revenge game for Notre Dame, as Louisville dominated their meeting last year.
There was some noticeable trash talking happening on the field, which is fairly normal when two top-25 teams are competing against each other. What you don’t often see is the bad blood continuing following the conclusion of the game.
It not uncommon for major rivalries to have post-game scrums, but this isn’t one of those. That didn’t stop the fact that both teams were still chirping at each other following the game in a video shared by ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg. You can draw your own conclusions from what transpired following the contest.
