Game of the week

Notre Dame at Georgia. The Fighting Irish make their first trip Between the Hedges after the Bulldogs beat them 20-19 two years ago in South Bend on their way to an appearance in the CFP championship game. This one figures to shape the playoff discussion this year, too. The key: Can Notre Dame find a way to slow Georgia’s rushing offense? The Bulldogs rank eighth nationally in rushing (286.7 ypg), while the Irish are 120th against the run, giving up at least 212 yards rushing in each game.
