BYU coach Kalani Sitake played at Notre Dame as a freshman fullback, the Deseret News reported, ahead of No. 8 BYU's game against No. 2 Notre Dame on Saturday in Provo. BYU won that game 21-14, after Notre Dame had won the first two meetings 42-16 and 45-20. [1]
Sitake, 51, did not record a stat in that game. "I was fortunate to play in this game when I was a freshman way back in 1994," he said. As a head coach, he lost to Notre Dame 28-20 in Las Vegas on Oct. 8, 2022, and as a Utah defensive coordinator he lost 28-3 in 2010. [1]
Notre Dame is a 10-point favorite and has won 16 straight games, all by 10 points or more. Saturday is the 10th meeting and the first top-10 matchup in the stadium's history. Sitake said the Irish have depth at every position and added, "I feel good about our chances." [1]
