Meanwhile, Rice is deep in rebuild mode, ranked near the bottom in returning production, and will rely on freshman QB Jacurri Brown to spark immediate turnaround. Michigan State’s Pat Fitzgerald hasn’t beaten a Power Five team on American soil since 2021, and Notre Dame’s visit could be his first win against one since 2022. Purdue’s defense, which surrendered over 500 yards in five games last year, hopes 15 new defensive transfers can stop Notre Dame’s aerial attack led by CJ Carr. North Carolina’s defense, despite a shaky start under Belichick, improved to 23rd in yards per carry allowed—and could be tougher than expected against Notre Dame’s potent run game.
