The NCAA season is finally here after a busy Saturday filled with college football there is one game each on Sunday and Monday.
In this game the Notre Dame Fighting Irish make the trip to Cardinal Stadium to take on the Louisville Cardinals.
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are currently ranked ninth in the country, and have high expectations about making it back to the college football playoffs.
[dfads params=’groups=220&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
This is a team that brings back a lot of talent from last year, but they have a sour taste in their mouth after being dominated by Clemson in the college football playoffs.
Quarterback Ian book is back to lead this team and they are hoping after another offseason, he can be even better than last year.
On the defensive side they were strong giving up 18.2 points per game and although they lost talent, this should still be one of the better defenses in the league.
In this game they really need to play a complete game. They should have no issue in this game, and they need to try and win by a ton of points.
Louisville Cardinals
On the other side of this matchup is the Louisville Cardinals who have a new head coach and are hoping to be better after winning only two games last year.

The hope is that this is going to be a strong running team led by Hassan Hall who carried the ball 70 times last year for 303 yards and three scores.
Out for this game is tight end Jordan Davis who is serving a two-game suspension, and without him the passing game could really struggle.
If they want any chance to win this game, the defense is probably going to need to force a couple of turnovers early, and shut down their offense.
