Notre Dame will be playing their first game in America this year as they face off against Eddie George-led Tennessee State in Notre Dame Stadium this Saturday. This game is unlike any other Notre Dame has ever played in the fact that Tennessee State is not an FBS school and the Irish up until now had never played anyone who fit this description.
This game, both because of what happened last week against Navy and the drop down in athlete level being played against this week, is intriguing. Can the Irish continue to improve over their great Navy performance or will the Irish sleepwalk at home vs a lesser opponent like they did multiple times last year? Let’s explore some confidences & concerns Irish fans may have entering this ball game.
