While Notre Dame football has played on Friday’s, they haven’t done so at home in a very long time.

According to Chuck Freeby Sports on social media, the Irish have not hosted a home Friday game since Nov. 30, 1900. They played a tough opponent, Chicago Physicians and Surgeons, winning 5-0 at Cartier Field according to Freeby.

That streak will be broken a week from today, as Notre Dame is set to host the Indiana Hoosiers in the first-round of the College Football Playoff. There is plenty of excitement surrounding this game, especially since it is the first season with the field expanding to 12-teams.

College football has never had a tournament to determine a champion, instead opting for just 4-teams since the inception of the CFP in 2014. Hopefully the streak of Friday home success continues for the Irish, as they are about a week away from getting back on the field.
