It might be safe to say that a rivalry is starting to build for Notre Dame football with one of the Big Ten’s top teams in Penn State.
The Irish took out the Nittany Lions in the College Football Playoff semifinals, and on Sunday they convinced running back coach Ja’Juan Seider to make the move from State College to South Bend.
