What time and channel does Notre Dame play today? Latest on how to watch with and without cable
Despite being a two-and-a-half-hour drive away from each other, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Northern Illinois Huskies will meet for the first time on Saturday.
No. 7 Notre Dame opened their season with a thrilling victory in College Station, overcoming a raucous environment to beat Texas A&M 23-13. It was a declaration of their ability to contend in the College Football Playoff. With that road win under their belt, they're opening the home slate against MAC opposition.
Northern Illinois is coming off a 54-15 win over Western Illinois. The level of difficulty is obviously heightened this week.
The Huskies have made a habit of beating Power 4 programs and well-regarded independents, notching what they call "Boneyard Wins" over Boston College in 2023 and Georgia Tech in 2021. They also kept it close against their last ranked opponent, No. 8 Kentucky in 2022. However, they haven't actually beaten a ranked team since 2015 against No. 20 Toledo.
