Notre Dame and Texas are two of the biggest brands in college football. They don’t play each other very much though, and that’s a shame. While it’s true that the opportunities to play each other are limited because of other obligations, it doesn’t make the reality any easier to take.
However, Bobby Burton of On Texas Football is reporting that the Irish and Longhorns have agreed to a two-game series in 2028 and 2029. While the report doesn’t say so, this series most definitely will be a home-and-home.
The Irish lead the all-time series with a 9-3 record. They split a home-and-home with the Longhorns in their two most recent meetings in 2015 and 2016. Before that, the Irish swept a home-and-home in 1995 and 1996.
2029 in particular will have a difficult schedule for the Irish as they also are scheduled to begin a home-and-home with Alabama that season. They obviously feel they’re up to the challenge though, so we’ll see how much it pays off.
