INSTANT RECAP: Louisville throttles Notre Dame, ending the Irish 30-game ACC win streak
Notre Dame football faced its fifth undefeated team of the season as it traveled to Louisville Saturday night to battle the 25th-ranked Cardinals. It's also the third of four-straight night games for the No. 10 Irish, all against ranked teams.
It did not go well as the No. 25 Cardinals rattled Sam Hartman and the 10th-ranked Irish all night for a 33-20 win.
