@ndirish101: Notre Dame Report - Saturday, October 17, 2026 Notre Dame faces unbeaten BYU Saturday night in Provo, and one number could help decide the game as Len Clark reports. The eighth-ranked Cougars convert more than 54 percent of their third downs. That's a challenge for an Irish defense allowing just 11 points per game. BYU wants to extend drives, control possession and limit quarterback CJ Carr's opportunities. For second-ranked Notre Dame, the key could be getting off the field on third down. The Irish are six-and-oh; BYU is five-and-oh. Kickoff tonight at 7:30 Eastern. Len Clark, Network Indiana.
