Game Notes
NOTRE DAME

-Cierre Wood is second in rushing in the NCAA. He is number one in rushing touchdowns with nine. Expect to see a lot of Wood.

-Irish defense hopes to build off strong defensive performance against Purdue. Air Force is a running team and that will have to be Bob Diaco's first concern.

-Freshman Everett Golson will get the nod at quarterback. It will be his first career start.

AIR FORCE

-Running back Asher Clark will need to have a big game for the Air Force to have a chance. He is their most dynamic player.

-The Air Force defense has played well this year, but against weaker competition. Although, they did lose a close one against #6 ranked TCU.


The Irish will have many prospects in attendance for this game. Here is a look at the list.
