Last Meeting: 2001 (Away) - Texas A&M won 24-3
Texas A&M enters the first season under new head coach Mike Elko, who is one of two former Notre Dame assistant coaches who lead teams the Irish will face in 2024. Elko took over a Duke team in 2022 that had gone 10-25 the three previous seasons, but the Blue Devils went 16-9 in his two seasons in charge, earning a bowl bid both seasons.
NORTHERN ILLINOIS HUSKIES

Northern Illinois enters year six under Thomas Hammock, who rushed for 1,000 yards for the Huskies in both the 2000 and 2021 seasons. Hammock rushed for 23 touchdowns in those two seasons. Hammock led NIU to bowl games in two of the last three seasons.

2023 Record: 4-8
vs. Notre Dame: Notre Dame leads 59-26-2
Last Meeting: 2021 (Home) - Notre Dame won 27-13
One of Notre Dame's longest rivals, the Boilermakers are back on the schedule for the next five seasons. Ryan Walters enters his second season at Purdue and will be looking to build on the disappointing 4-8 record in year one. Purdue did win two of their last three games.
MIAMI REDHAWKS
Date: September 21
2023 Record: 11-3
vs. Notre Dame: Notre Dame leads 2-0
Last Meeting: 2017 (Home) - Notre Dame won 52-17
Chuck Martin is the second former Notre Dame coordinator that is set to face the Irish in 2024. Martin had done a solid job in his previous nine seasons at Miami, but the 2023 campaign was his best. Miami went 11-3, won the MAC and earned a third straight bowl bid.
LOUISVILLE CARDINALS
Date: September 28
2023 Record: 10-4
vs. Notre Dame: Tied 2-2
Last Meeting: 2023 (Away) - Louisville won 33-20
Head coach Jeff Brohm did a great job in his first season, leading Louisville to 10+ wins for the first time since 2013. The Cardinals also beat Notre Dame last season, so the Irish will be looking for payback against a Cardinal squad that will have a much different look in 2024.
STANFORD CARDINAL
Date: October 12
2023 Record: 3-9
vs. Notre Dame: Notre Dame leads 23-14
Last Meeting: 2023 (Away) - Notre Dame 56-23

Date: October 19
2023 Record: 7-6
vs. Notre Dame: Notre Dame leads 30-6-1
Last Meeting: 2021 (Home) - Notre Dame won 55-0
Head coach Brent Key did a really solid job in season one, leading the Jackets to their first bowl game since 2018. Georgia Tech returns a lot of talent on offense and are a team to watch for in 2024.

Date: October 26
2023 Record: 5-7
vs. Notre Dame: Notre Dame leads 82-13-1
Last Meeting: 2023 (Ireland) - Notre Dame won 42-3
Navy was a competitive 5-7 in Navy's first season under Brian Newberry, and year two will be another season of change as the Midshipmen look to transition away from the pure triple option that was around for over a decade. Notre Dame has won six straight and 10 of the last 11 games against Navy.
FLORIDA STATE SEMINOLES
Date: November 9
2023 Record: 13-1

Notre Dame has won three straight games against the Seminoles, with the last two home games being 42-26 and 42-13 wins for the Irish, but this will be a much better FSU squad.
