SOUTH BEND — Fresh off a 66-7 drubbing of in-state rival Purdue, Notre Dame football moved up one spot to No. 18 in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll released Sunday afternoon.
The Irish, who dropped 12 spots after a Week 2 upset loss at home against Northern Illinois, entertain another Mid-American Conference foe this Saturday when Miami (Ohio) (0-2) visits Notre Dame Stadium.
Two future Notre Dame opponents and one previous victim hit the board in the coaches’ Top 25 this week.
