No. 2 ranked Notre Dame is set to face No. 8 BYU in a high-stakes top-10 college football matchup this Saturday. The undefeated Fighting Irish (6-0) travel to Provo, Utah, carrying a 16-game winning streak.

BYU enters the contest with a 5-0 record. The Cougars face significant challenges in their backfield, as key running backs Sione Moa and LJ Martin are sidelined with injuries.

Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman expressed readiness for the road challenge, noting the intensity of playing in an opponent's environment. The game serves as a critical test for both programs as they pursue positions within the 12-team College Football Playoff field.
