Nearly half of the new flights are for Notre Dame games, including the home game against USC on October 18. Flights have also been added for ND home games against Texas A&M (September 13), Purdue (September 20), Boise State (October 4), NC State (October 11), Navy (November 8) and Syracuse (November 22).

In Phil Steele’s college football 2025 preview magazine, he ranks Notre Dame as the No. 2 team in the country as the season is almost here.

Since 2007, they have only squared off nine times and Notre Dame is 9-0 in those contests with their largest margin of victory in the series coming this past season when they traveled to West Lafayette and won in a 66-7 blowout that was over by halftime. Freeman has only coached against Purdue once and is 1-0 against the instate rival.
