Saturday marks Notre Dame's final 2025 regular season home game as Syracuse comes to South Bend for a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff.

And barring a College Football Playoff game, it could be the last game ever at Notre Dame Stadium for star players like Jeremiyah Love, whose 17 touchdowns have helped Notre Dame rattle off eight straight wins and put the running back among the top-five contenders for the Heisman Trophy.

On the other side, Syracuse looks to snap a six-game losing streak under second-year head coach Fran Brown, who led the Orange to 10 wins last season. Syracuse is set to start freshman quarterback Joe Filardi, who has attempted just seven passes in his college career.

Here's more information on the game.
