BRONX, N.Y. — The 12th ranked Syracuse Orange football team (8-2) faces its most-important gridiron battle in two decades when it meets the No. 3 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (10-0) on Saturday afternoon in New York City.
The game, part of Notre Dame’s Shamrock Series, kicks off at 2:30 p.m. at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx and will be shown on NBC nationally. Mike Tirico, Doug Flutie, and Kathryn Tappen are the announcing team.
Syracuse enters the battle in the Bronx, fresh off a 54-23 pummeling of Louisville last Friday night at the Carrier Dome to cap off a perfect (6-0) home campaign, its first in 17 years. The Orange will be looking for a big upset win to solidify its hopes for a New Year’s Six bowl game berth.
Saturday’s game is the 9th all-time meeting between Syracuse and Notre Dame. The Irish lead the series 5-3, including winning the last two contests in MetLife Stadium in New Jersey (50-33 in 2016, and 31-15 in 2014).
