Notre Dame Updates Depth Chart Ahead of Boise State Clash

Notre Dame (2-2) took a step in the right direction Saturday, as it dominated Arkansas (2-3) to the tune of a 56-13 victory. The win was so lopsided that Arkansas fired head coach Sam Pittman following it.

Notre Dame looks to take another step this week as it plays host to what is traditionally a Group of Five powerhouse, Boise State (3-1). The Broncos played in last year's College Football Playoff, falling in the Fiesta Bowl to Penn State.

They'd like nothing more than to join the ranks of Northern Illinois, Marshall, Tulsa, and others in relatively recent history, that have walked in Notre Dame Stadium with a victory.

Notre Dame started to figure out the defense a bit last week at Arkansas. Can it take away Boise State's running game and make the Broncos uncomfortable by having to throw for much of Saturday?

If so another blowout victory will be on the horizon for Marcus Freeman and the Fighting Irish.
