It is safe to assume that Notre Dame will not take lightly this MAC opponent as it did recent conqueror Northern Illinois. Still, the RedHawks are defending MAC champs with a seasoned QB (Brett Gabbert), and a low total in the mid-40s suggests the RedHawks might earn a cover just by registering two TDs. The Fighting Irish lost two O-linemen to injury last week, while QB Riley Leonard can be shaky on downfield throws. ND coach Marcus Freeman has a history of forgettable games against lesser foes.
