"Toto. I don't think we're in Kansas anymore."

Perhaps substitute Texas for Kansas and you could be talking about the Notre Dame football team entering Week 2 of the 2024 college football season.

Notre Dame, fresh off an impressive season opening victory at hot and humid Texas A&M, heads home for a Week 2 date with Northern Illinois. Awaiting the Irish will be much cooler temperatures on Saturday with perhaps even some rain at some point.
