Notre Dame: The Irish play their home opener against Nevada on Saturday. But eventually, Texas emerged as the better team. The Buckeyes-Hokies game previously held the sport’s opening weekend best total live audience with 10,760,000 average viewers.

The University of Texas defeated No. 10 Notre Dame 50-47 in overtime, but getting it to overtime was the superlative. The Irish allowed 517 yards to Texas (280 passing, 237 rushing) and largely struggled on that side of the ball.
Brian Polian’s side didn’t do much to show it’ll be competitive against Notre Dame this weekend with this narrow win over an FCS side that went 4-7 past year. “To be able to display that we can play with whatever talent level is out on the field, that’s the exciting part”.
This might’ve been the most impressive win a Notre Dame opponent had this weekend given the circumstances: Temple won 10 games previous year, while Army won nine total games from 2013-2015.
Leave it to captain Isaac Rochell, a defensive end, to make some post-game lemonade out of the lemon the Irish served up. We made a decision we weren’t going to let it keep happening.
