We’re hopefully 92 days until Notre Dame football returns to action. We count that down with Brian Kelly on today’s check-in.
In just over 13 weeks we will have the single greatest game on the planet back, college football.
Notre Dame is set to take on Navy on August 29th which is now just 92 days away. We continue our countdown to Notre Dame football returning today with a tip of the cap to Notre Dame’s current head coach, Brian Kelly.
92: The amount of games Brian Kelly has won at Notre Dame (even if he only gets credit for 72 of those due to NCAA sanctions that were handed down.
Those 92 wins are the fourth most in Notre Dame history with only some real legends in front of him in Knute Rockne (105), Lou Holtz (100) and Ara Parseghian (95). A season anywhere near what the last two have brought would put Kelly in second all-time by December.
It hasn’t always been pretty and at times it’s been frustrating on various different levels but there is no arguing against where Brian Kelly has led this Notre Dame football program compared to where it was a decade ago.

Who are the top five opposing coaches on the Longhorns 2020 football schedule?
Georgia football is projected to be featured in two College GameDay matchups this 2020 college football season.
I know, you’d rather be reading about which early-enrollees are turning heads at Georgia workouts. I’d rather be writing about that. Unfortunately, that’s not the world we are living in right now.
Instead, we are in a constant state of speculation, which can actually provide some entertaining stories like the one Zach Barnett of FootballScoop posted this week.
[lawrence-related id=22425]
He wrote a story predicting where ESPN’s College GameDay show will visit during each week of the 2020 college football season.
In his predictions, he had Georgia being involved in two College GameDay matchups.
The first one is a sure-thing…Georgia at Alabama on September 19 in Tuscaloosa.
From FootballScoop:
Speaking of sure things, Georgia at Alabama is perhaps the surest thing of the entire season. A rematch of the 2017 national championship and 2018 SEC title game, this game comes three days shy of the THIRTEEN YEAR anniversary of Georgia’s last trip to Tuscaloosa.
The other one is on Halloween, where Barnett predicts College GameDay will visit Jacksonville for the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party. Not a bad prediction, as both teams will likely be in the top-ten playing for a spot in the SEC Championship Game.
Florida has finished second to Georgia in the SEC East in each of Dan Mullen’s first two seasons and, with a returning quarterback in Gainesville and a new offense coming in Athens, there’s a belief that the Gators can climb the hump this year. Florida vs. Georgia will be the ultimate trick or treat for Mullen.
Athens, Georgia was also mentioned as a possible destination on October 6. The Bulldogs will be hosting Auburn in The Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry, but there’s also plenty of other top-tier matchups taking place that weekend.
October 6 matchups include: Texas-Oklahoma, Clemson-Florida State, LSU-Florida, Auburn-Georgia, Minnesota-Wisconsin, Iowa-Ohio State, Rutgers-Purdue.
Oklahoma vs Texas gets GameDay that weekend in his predictions.
