  • Notre Dame vs. Virginia Preview with Eric Mac Lain

    Notre Dame vs. Virginia Preview with Eric Mac Lain
    Nov 13 2024
    It's Wednesday, which means it's time for Matt Fortuna and Pete Sampson to get together and chop it up about Notre Dame football. The Fighting Irish checked in at No. 8 in Tuesday's College Football Playoff selection committee rankings, which would give them a first-round matchup at Tennessee. How can Marcus Freeman's squad continue to move up? And what will it take for Riley Leonard and Co. to run the table the rest of the way, starting with Saturday's Senior Day contest against Virginia.

    Friend of the show Eric Mac Lain joins the guys to preview the game against the Cavaliers and to talk about how the Irish fit in with the ACC's scheduling agreement. The ACC Network analyst and former Clemson offensive lineman talks about the league at-large as well.
