First Flight for the Notre Dame Football Team This Season

It is a little unusual for the University of Notre Dame football team to have its first travel-by-flight game this late in the year. The Irish travel to San Antonio this weekend to take on Washington State for it first neutral site game in a planned seven home games, four away games and one neutral site scheduling pattern. With away games already in the books this season at Michigan and Purdue (both bus trips for the team), the Irish will board a flight for the first time as a team in 2009.
