Is it possible the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team would continue its nightmarish season and lose to one of the service academies a second time in as many weeks? Oddsmakers at online sports wagering giant Sportsbook.com think so having installed Air Force a 3.5-point favorite with a 44 point game total. The game kicks off at 2:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast nationally by NBC Sports.
When Air Force played host to Notre Dame last season, the Fighting Irish boasted a prolific offense, a Heisman Trophy candidate in quarterback Brady Quinn, one of the nation’s hottest coaches in Charlie Weis and an 8-1 record.
One year later, as Air Force prepares to play at Notre Dame Stadium, the Fighting Irish are off to a 1-8 start, the worst in a history that dates to 1887.
The Fighting Irish rank No. 119,dead last in the nation in total offense with 208.4 yards per game, 27.6 less than Florida International. They rank second-to-last in scoring offense at 13.8 points per game. Notre Dame has lost a school-record five straight games at home and has tied a school record for losses in a season. All but one of its losses have come by 13 or more points, and half of them have come by 21 or more, including a pair of 38-0 defeats by Michigan and USC. Last week the Fighting Irish lost to Navy for the first time since 1963, ending a NCAA record 43-game winning streak against the Midshipmen.
This is the 28th meeting between Air Force and Notre Dame. The Irish lead the series, 22-5.
