Tenth-ranked Notre Dame and unbeaten No. 25 Louisville are eager to move past admittedly ugly victories in their first meeting while ranked. Saturday night’s sold-out, nationally televised non-conference clash offers both teams an opportunity to execute the way they hoped to by the season’s midpoint. The Fighting Irish face their latest challenge in a four-game stretch against ranked teams. Louisville has its best start in 10 years and first AP Top 25 ranking since early last season, but faces its biggest test under first-year coach Jeff Brohm. Both are coming off hard-fought victories over Duke and North Carolina State, respectively.
