No. 8 Irish home streak on line vs. first-time foe Toledo
By The Associated Press
The Fighting Irish put their 24-game winning streak at Notre Dame Stadium on the line Saturday against first-time opponent Toledo of the Mid-American Conference. Coach Brian Kelly’s team, which blew a 38-20 second-half lead against the Seminoles, needs to shore up its running game and improve its tackling against coach Jason Candle’s Rockets, who returned two blocked field goals for touchdowns in a 49-10 season-opening victory over Norfolk State.
