No. 6 Notre Dame faces off against No. 17 Army: How to watch Saturday’s game
The rivalry between No. 6 Notre Dame and No. 17 Army is back and it has major playoff implications.
The Fighting Irish (9-1) and the Black Knights (9-0) will face off against each other at Yankee Stadium on Saturday, marking the first matchup between the two programs since 2016, when Notre Dame handily defeated Army, 44-6. Notre Dame has beaten Army in the last 15 matchups and hasn’t dropped a game in the series since 1958.
Both Notre Dame and Army are vying for a spot in the expanded 12-team College Football Playoff. Notre Dame got off to a rough start this season after suffering a shocking upset to Northern Illinois in Week 2, but the Fighting Irish were projected to be the No. 8 seed in the latest College Football Playoff bracket after winning their last eight games.
Army, on the other hand, is undefeated and has already secured a spot in the American Athletic Conference championship game against Tulane in December, but a win over ranked Notre Dame will only bolster their resume.
Can Army snap Notre Dame’s 15-game winning streak? Can the Fighting Irish keep their playoff hopes alive? Here’s how to tune into the matchup on Saturday:
