The biggest game week of the season is finally here. It’s No. 4 Notre Dame vs. No. 1 Miami. Catholics vs. Convicts. Marcus Freeman vs. Mario Cristobal. CJ Carr vs. Darian Mensah. There’s no overhyping this game, which has huge CFP implications. NBC’s Todd Blackledge, who will call the game, joins Matt Fortuna and Pete Sampson to preview these teams and much more!
