‘College GameDay’ coming to Notre Dame for College Football Playoff

Get ready to reserve your place in the crowd.

ESPN and ABC will broadcast the first-round College Football Playoff game between Notre Dame and Indiana. And “College GameDay” wants to be in South Bend before it kicks off.

The popular college football program has announced that Notre Dame will be one of two stops it will make during that weekend. It also will be at Ohio State before it plays Tennessee the following day.

This will be the 37th time the Irish have been featured on “College GameDay” and the second time this season after they were featured ahead of their season-opening victory over Texas A&M. They currently have an unfortunate 16-20 all-time record in those games so far.

“College GameDay” last came to South Bend a season ago. That was before the Irish infamously had only 10 men on the field on the play that caused them to lose in gut-wrenching fashion to Ohio State. Hopefully, the Irish fans who gather on the Library Lawn this time around will be a lot happier after this upcoming appearance.

Notre Dame confirmed to wear green jerseys vs. Louisville

Dress appropriately if you’re going to the game.

For a while, there was doubt about whether Notre Dame would match its fans for the annual “Irish Wear Green” game against Louisville. Part of that has to do with the fact that the university never officially released images of the uniform combination for such a game. Those doubts can be put to rest now.

[autotag]Marcus Freeman[/autotag] has announced that the Irish will indeed wear green jerseys against the Cardinals, a decision he indicated earlier in the week that he would leave up to the captains. There’s no telling exactly how long that decision-making process was, but it’s been completed.

Although we don’t for certain right now what the uniform will look like, Blue and Gold Illustrated has learned that the green jerseys will be worn with white pants along with the usual gold helmets.

The Irish have an all-time record of 41-13-1 when wearing green jerseys, splitting their first two such games under Freeman.

The hope is the Irish won’t repeat what happened when they wore the jerseys last season. They came agonizingly close to upsetting Ohio State, only to hamper themselves by having only 10 defensive players on the field when the Buckeyes scored the winning touchdown with one second left.

See it: USC did a Notre Dame impression in win vs. Arizona

For a few great colleges they sure both have issues counting to 11.

When Notre Dame and USC battle on Saturday night in South Bend it’ll be two of the proudest football programs historically in college football.

The combined wins are countless and pedigree of both are extremely high.

They’re also two of the highest ranked collegiate institutions in the entire United States.

But that doesn’t mean that either can count to 11 with any regularity.

We all know that Notre Dame had their issues with personnel, having just 10 players on the field when Ohio State scored the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds a few weeks back.

Well, USC performed the same trick this past weekend as Arizona took them to triple overtime before the Trojans prevailed.  Check it out below:

How many times will the teams combine to do that this Saturday night?

Big time yikes!
