Notre Dame football team pays respect to iconic BYU student section

Notre Dame’s football squad took a moment to honor BYU’s legendary student section, The Roar of Cougars (ROC), ahead of Saturday’s high-stakes matchup in Provo. The Fighting Irish players visited the packed section during warm-ups, where the ROC—known for its unmatched energy across all BYU sports—was already at full capacity hours before kickoff.

The game pits two undefeated teams, with Notre Dame ranked No. 2 in the AP poll and BYU at No.

8, setting the stage for a potential top-five shakeup depending on the outcome. A win for Notre Dame could vault them to the No.

1 spot next week, while BYU’s victory would solidify their position as a title contender in the Big 12. The clash, airing live on ABC at 7:30 p.m.

ET, marks the first meeting between the two programs since Notre Dame’s snub of BYU in the 2024 Pop-Tart Bowl.
