Notre Dame football: How Irish opponents fared in Week 1
The first full weekend of college football has officially come and gone. It started with a bunch of blowouts and ended with another one – one that just happened to be a traditional basketball school wiping the floor with a preseason top 10 squad.
Oh, and both of those teams are on Notre Dame’s schedule in 2023.
Notre Dame moved to 2-0 with a 56-3 beatdown of Tennessee State. How did the rest of Notre Dame’s opponents do in Week 1 of the 2023 college football season?
