Just 12 weeks from now we’re slated for Notre Dame football to return as the Irish will take on Navy in Annapolis. There is a chance that game is played on the Sunday instead so it could be 12 weeks or it might be 12 weeks and a day.
Whatever the case, we’re a day closer to Notre Dame football returning to action.
As we continue the countdown today we revisit a moment from the last football Notre Dame played.
84: Tony Jones, Jr.’s record run in the Camping World Bowl vs. Iowa State.

In the 37 previous bowl games Notre Dame had played in there had never been a longer run by an Irish player than what you just watched above.
Jones is onto the NFL as he signed with the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent while Notre Dame looks for someone to jump out in their 2020 backfield.
84 days. Or maybe 85. Either way…
Let’s go!
