The football team has multiple games with special uniforms like when they wore green against Boise State and this weekend it’s the basketball team’s turn to wear some alternates. Both the men and women play this weekend in South Bend, as they’ll don “The Bend” uniforms in their games.

Every decade, Notre Dame heads to Pittsburgh and notches a win that has some gravity to it. Now it’s Marcus Freeman’s turn.

Coming off a lackluster 25-10 win over Boston College, the Irish now gear up to face Navy at home in another edition of the traditional rivalry. While most wanted or expected the margin to be higher against the Eagles, Notre Dame still continued its winning streak on the road to keep Playoff chances alive.

The Oklahoma Sooners' win over the Alabama Crimson Tide was the most significant result to affect the College Football Playoff projections. Oklahoma, who entered Saturday at No. 11, now looks like a playoff team as long as it wins out.

CJ Carr hit Malachi Fields for two touchdown passes, while Jeremiyah Love had 147 rushing yards and one touchdown. Notre Dame hosts Syracuse next Saturday before concluding its regular season on the road against Stanford.
