The Schedule

There are a lot of games on the 2021 schedule that is intriguing, and the atmosphere of the Notre Dame game will be electric.

It’s a game where Notre Dame is the betting favorite but likely an overrated team in the preseason rankings.

However, the Noles will get a nice tune-up game against Jacksonville State before traveling for their first road game against Wake Forest.

A win could provide momentum heading into a showdown against Louisville. A vulnerable Syracuse team follows that, which means the Noles could go into the road game against North Carolina in good shape to make a bowl game.

Losses against Wake Forest or Louisville would make that incredibly difficult since the back half of the schedule is tougher.

Early wins could help build confidence for the program that hasn’t done well in the early part of their schedule for quite some time.
