It will not be a traditional Senior Day since there will be so few fans in the stands. Players will not be running out to their parents like they did in past years, but Notre Dame is doing other things to try and make it a memorable day for the seniors.
Here are some more encouraging messages from the families of our seniors. #GoIrish x #BeatOrange pic.twitter.com/Ksjj8mLwfd
