… five things to watch:

1.The Notre Dame quarterback situation
* * *
2. Early season improvement

There’s an old saying … that a team makes its greatest improvement from the first game to the second. Brian Kelly … put seven first-time starters on the field at Texas, and … there are 10 players missing from last year’s team who now occupy spots on NFL rosters. … Now that the Irish have seen some of their younger, less-experienced players in game situations, at least for a week, it’s easier to make adjustments, corrections and improvement. Expect everybody on the field to have a better feel for his assignment ….

3. What to expect from Nevada?

It figures to be an emotional day for Wolf Pack head coach Brian Polian who not long ago spent five seasons (2005-09) in South Bend as an Irish assistant coach. … This is a Nevada program that won a bowl game last year (… the Wolf Pack has played in a bowl game 10 of the last 11 seasons) and opened with an overtime home win. James Butler is a proven talent at running back … senior quarterback Tyler Stewart was an efficient 17 of 23 throwing the football last weekend.

4. The shorter work week

While getting $1 million to play at a historic location like Notre Dame Stadium is a great experience for his players, Wolf Pack coach Brian Polian said ‘in a perfect world’ Nevada wouldn’t play this game. ‘No,’ Polian said when asked if he’d want to play this game if not for the financial impact. ‘When you look at a mid-major that has an incredibly historic year … they’re not playing two Powers 5s and if they are they’re catching them in a down year. In a perfect world, I don’t want to play two Power 5s every year.  If we were supposed to win those games we’d be funded like a Power 5.’ … The Wolf Pack … is playing the fifth-easiest schedule among FBS teams this year based on opponent win-loss percentage from 2015 ….
