With Texas taking on Notre Dame, the matchup looks even more challenging for Notre Dame due to its inexperienced offensive line and injuries. Playing in one of the loudest stadiums in college football, Notre Dame's offense could face a recipe for disaster. Additionally, the transfer of Riley Leonard from Duke to Notre Dame, following ACL surgery and a subsequent clean-up surgery in the summer, coupled with minimal reps in the new system, may result in a slow start for him. This could be particularly tough on the road against one of the best defensive lines in college football. What's more, with Texas' new coach, Mike Elko, having been at Duke last year, he likely has insights into Riley's playing tendencies and weaknesses, which could give Texas an edge in shutting down Notre Dame's offense. These factors combined make a compelling case for a challenging game for Notre Dame.
