Plot Synopsis

In A SEASON WITH NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL, cameras are entrenched on campus in South Bend with inside access to the team and coaching staff, as head coach Brian Kelly and his Fighting Irish vie for a spot in the College Football Playoff. Viewers join Notre Dame's student-athletes in the locker room and the classroom as the series transports viewers beyond the field and into the lives of the student-athletes throughout the season. Weekly episodes feature the preparation for the previous Saturday's matchup, the intensity of the sidelines on game day and the rigors of balancing athletics with classwork during the grueling season -- from Notre Dame's opening-week showdown with the University of Texas Longhorns in South Bend, Indiana, to preparing to play host to USC for the 86th edition of their rivalry, to the Shamrock Series showdown with Boston College at historic Fenway Park.
