Notre Dame football trivia for Week 12
Notre Dame (7-3) welcomes Wake Forest (4-6) to South Bend for Senior Day at 3:30 p.m. ET on NBC. There will be 31 Fighting Irish seniors recognized during a pre-game ceremony at Notre Dame Stadium, including graduate student quarterback Sam Hartman. He spent the first five years of his college career as a member of the Demon Deacons, setting WFU records for career completions, attempts, total touchdowns and total yards.
This, of course, will be the first time Hartman will face his former school. He has played in 37 games, including 35 starts, against ACC schools during his six-year college career. However, with Wake Forest being crossed off the list Saturday, what two ACC schools has Hartman still not played against?
A. Georgia Tech and Miami
B. Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech
C. Miami and Virginia Tech
D. Virginia and Virginia Tech
Answer: A. The Demon Deacons did not play against the Yellow Jackets and Hurricanes during Hartman’s five years (2018-22) in Winston-Salem, N.C.
