SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — No. 8 Notre Dame will visit No. 19 Michigan this weekend. It will be the first road trip for the Fighting Irish in more than a month. The Irish haven't played a game outside Notre Dame Stadium since their 23-17 loss at Georgia on Sept. 21.
The visit to Michigan will mark the third time in coach Brian Kelly's 10 years that Notre Dame lines up on the road after four straight regular-season weeks at home or off. Kelly says he is confident his team is ready. Some are eager for the road trip.
Saturday the University of Michigan made the following announcement regarding when the two teams will meet again:
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan Athletic Department announced Saturday (Oct. 26) the addition of a home-and-home football series with Notre Dame in 2033 and 2034.
The Wolverines and Irish will renew their rivalry with games on Sept. 3, 2033, in Ann Arbor and Sept. 2, 2034, in South Bend, Indiana.
U-M has a 24-18-1 record all-time against Notre Dame. The Wolverines have a 14-7 mark at Michigan Stadium, a 9-11-1 record at Notre Dame Stadium and a 1-0 neutral-site mark, having defeated the Irish by a 23-0 score in Toledo during the 1902 season.
