Notre Dame’s first road game of the year also features their earliest start-time, at 12 Noon local time against Wake Forest in Winston-Salem, 12 ET, 11 CT, 10 MT and 9 PT.<\/p>\n

Notre Dame already managed to dodge another Mid-Atlantic hurricane game, since it was a week earlier that Hurricane Florence came through.<\/p>\n
Yet, with the forecast ebbing and flowing for potential (presumably conventional) thunderstorms, the noon start should give Notre Dame — and Wake Forest’s up-tempo offense — dry weather, around 80, with the storms not predicted to arrive until the end of the afternoon.<\/p>\n
