Notre Dame reveals uniform combination for game at Syracuse

Notre Dame has a massive opportunity ahead of them today in upstate New York. The 4-3 Fighting Irish head to the Carrier Dome to face off against a No. 16 Syracuse team that’s 6-1 with just one lone loss to Clemson. It’s a very formidable ACC team.

Ahead of the noon kickoff, Notre Dame announced on Twitter what its uniform combination will be against the Orange. Take a look below:

A little gold-white-gold combo for the Irish. Gold helmets and pants with crisp white jerseys to break it up. A very clean and shiny look for ND as they try to revive their season with a huge ranked road win.

It’ll be Irish vs. Orange in Syracuse, NY at noon on Saturday. Winner gets a marquee victory — even if Notre Dame is a little bit down this season.

Marcus Freeman calls Syracuse QB Garrett Shrader ‘special’

Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman knows that his defense is up against a difficult challenge this week. Playing Syracuse, Freeman can’t bank on his offense to win in a shootout, so he needs the defense to have a strong game. That’s going to be tough against a team with a talented running back in Sean Tucker and a special quarterback in Garrett Shrader.

While speaking to the media, Marcus Freeman praised Garrett Shrader.

“The quarterback is special,” Marcus Freeman said. “I know he’s a veteran guy. Played two years at Mississippi State and in his second season here.”

“But the one thing you’ve seen is, I saw a stat, that he’s been with four different offensive coordinators. So, he understands the game of football. He’s not just a one-system guy, and he can extend plays with his feet, he can run, he’s got a good arm, makes good decisions, and so it’s going to be a huge task for us when you talk about a quarterback that can run it, throw it, makes good decisions, takes care of the football.”
