Notre Dame releases complete 2023 football schedule
Notre Dame has released their full 2023 football schedule. That means it’s time for you to start marking dates of which Saturdays you won’t be available to go to the farmers market, take your kids to morning soccer, or simply go to an apple orchard or pumpkin patch this fall.
Kidding aside, it’s fascinating in terms of a Notre Dame schedule. A trip to Ireland to start the year, intriguing new coaches in a few ACC contests, and powerhouse match ups with Ohio State, USC, and Clemson highlight the fall.
With the addition of quarterback Sam Hartman, is Notre Dame a fringe College Football Playoff contender? Here is how the 2023 schedule shapes up for Notre Dame.
