@DPiper247 can we get some thoughts before the game? Maybe a tweet, maybe a sudden last minute pod. Anything to get some words of wisdom from Piper! @JWerner247

Notre Dame is expected to hire Illinois defensive coordinator Aaron Henry as a co-defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach, sources tell @CBSSports. Has been a key figure in Illinois posting 19 wins the last two seasons, the winningest two-year run in school history.
