What to expect from the Louisville Cardinals vs. the Notre Dame Fighting Irish college football game
For the second week in a row, the Irish get to play at home in South Bend, at "The House That Rockne Built," Notre Dame Stadium. But though home field advantage is certainly a factor, the Irish’s opponent is actually the higher-ranked team currently, as the No. 16 home team is going to have their hands full with the No. 15 Louisville Cardinals.
Still, after starting the year with a huge win over Texas A&M, only to blow it against Southern Illinois the following week, the Irish seem to be surging in the right direction again after taking care of business against Purdue and Miami of Ohio.
The strength of the Irish is definitely their defense, which has been looking tough through four games. And while the offense, led by Duke transfer Riley Leonard, still has some work to do, they have shown signs of improvement as of late. And their going to need to score some points to secure a College Football Playoff berth, a trend that's going to have to start this weekend against a tough Louisville squad.

Under Coach Jeff Brohm, the Cardinals are undefeated so far this season, with wins over Austin Peay, Jacksonville State, and fellow ACC foe, Georgia Tech, all while averaging 47.3 points on offense and holding opponents to just 11. Granted, none of those teams are currently ranked, so the Irish will likely live up to their name and provide the Cardinals with their biggest fight yet.
