Notre Dame: On a High Note
Notre Dame comes into this game fresh off of what may prove to be their season-defining triumph, defeating the No. 20 Texas A&M Aggies 23-13 in a fierce defensive battle in College Station. The Irish jumped from No. 7 to No. 5 in this week's AP Poll after this statement win.
Riley Leonard, a former quarterback for Duke, made his debut for Notre Dame in the season opener. Leonard played well in 2023 after missing a large portion of the previous season with an injury. He finished with 158 throwing yards, 63 rushing yards, and—most importantly—zero turnovers. Despite not having a Heisman-caliber performance, his cool-headed play under duress was crucial to the Irish's victory in their season-opening victory.
Northern Illinois: Seeking Distress
The Northern Illinois Huskies are preparing for a historic occasion as they look to win at Notre Dame Stadium for the first time ever and defeat a team ranked in the top ten. Since Notre Dame has a perfect 7-0 record versus MAC clubs, a win would also be historic for the Mid-American Conference.
Over the previous five seasons, the Huskies have had a rollercoaster of success under head coach Thomas Hammock. Despite having three losing seasons, Hammock guided the club to a conference title in 2021 and bowl eligibility in 2023. Ethan Hampton, a redshirt junior quarterback, helped Northern Illinois defeat Western Illinois 54–15 in the first game of the season this year.
