The Notre Dame football season is officially back. It's Week 1, and the Irish are opening up against one of their most hated rivals. Even if the Blue and Gold don't face Miami all that often, there's no love lost between the two programs.
There's a bonus that this year will feature two Top 10 teams who want to start the season with a 1-0 record and an inside track to the College Football Playoffs.
There's another bonus in the fact that Notre Dame football faithful won't have to do battle with any other games. The powers that be understand this is a big game, and because of that, it's playing on a Sunday, after most of the rest of the college football world has already started their seasons.
