On December 30th, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish will do battle against the LSU Tigers in the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl at LP Field in Nashville, Tennessee.
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish finished the year with a 7 - 5 record after losing their last four games. The season started with so much promise for the Fighting Irish after they won the first six games on the schedule. But after losing a controversial game to Florida State, things went south for Notre Dame. After losing five of their last six games, the Fighting Irish will be looking for redemption in Nashville. If they can get if, it will end the season on a high note. If they can’t, people may wonder if those opening six wins were the result of talent or just luck.
The LSU Tigers went 8 - 4 on the year and although they had some big wins, they also had some horrible losses. After starting the season at 3 – 0, the Tigers dropped some games that that they could have won. But they rebounded with a three game stretch where they beat Florida, Kentucky and Ole Miss. The Tigers lost 2 straight after that but finished the year with a win over the Texas A&M Aggies. If the Tigers can deal the Fighting Irish a 5th straight loss, they could set themselves up for a much better season next year.
