Notre Dame-Tennessee State: Pregame Buzz
Notre Dame is 1-0 on the young 2023 football season and today takes the field against Tennessee State. The game isn’t expected to be very competitive but it’s a home opener and those are always special.
The tailgate lots are already nearly full, there is a crispness in the air this morning (that will soon be met with insane heat) and Notre Dame football is back (on American soil)!
What is the pregame scene like at Notre Dame?
What are the story lines headed into the game?
How is the buzz before kickoff in South Bend?
Here is some of the best around the internet as we await kickoff on this first Saturday in September.
It's good to be back!

True, so don't let it end anywhere near the same way
Stop comparing playing Marshall to Tennessee State. It’s not the same

Absolutely Should Not
Cool under-the-radar storyline for Week 1:
Tennessee State at Notre Dame will feature a Battle of the Buckeyes as TSU head coach Eddie George faces off against ND head coach Marcus Freeman.
They should do "O-H" "I-O" at midfield after the game. pic.twitter.com/AsIgQdDz0i
