Notre Dame 2020 Football Schedule – 10 Thoughts

If Notre Dame manages 10-2 against this schedule and ends up in the Camping World Bowl again we are going to have a problem.

The only road game not played in a home NFL venue is the first game of the year. Not sure how many teams can ever say that.

Bye week after Ireland trip is wise, we all remember how close to disaster the 2012 home opener was against a bad Purdue team a week after the 50-10 dismantling of Navy.

Who will be playing quarterback for Wake Forest after their shocking transfer news earlier this week?

An second bye week is nice, just too bad it doesn’t come a week later before Clemson.

Only the Pitt and USC games will be played as true road games.

What is the smallest favorite Clemson has been in a regular season game since Trevor Lawrence began starting? Guessing Notre Dame will be the lowest. Chance that will be the coldest game Lawrence will have ever played in, too.

Playing at Lambeau is obviously cool and all but you know what else is? Camp Randall. My favorite non-Notre Dame collegiate venue I’ve ever been to for any sport.

Is Jonathan Taylor going to be a Badger or an NFL Draft pick for that game?

Eight of 12 opponents are coming off bowl appearances with Clemson coming off another national title appearance and Wisconsin a Rose Bowl loss to Oregon.

If Notre Dame manages 10-2 against this schedule and ends up in the Camping World Bowl again we are going to have a problem.
