Notre Dame will have its hands full this weekend as the Irish try to remain unbeaten on the young season. They’re 3-0 but the wins have been hardly impressive as now a very daunting Wisconsin defense awaits them at Soldier Field in Chicago on Sunday.
Notre Dame released their updated depth chart on Monday ahead of the contest and here is how it looks after some ever so slight changes:
