Notre Dame Fighting Irish Underdogs in Sugar Bowl

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are bristling as they head into the Sugar Bowl as underdogs against the heavily favored LSU Tigers. Fans looking to get their hands on Sugar Bowl Tickets can still acquire them through Stubhub.com. Sugar Bowl Tickets cost anywhere from $70 and up. One of the reasons why Notre Dame is seen as the underdog going into the Sugar Bowl is explained by Notre Dame Safety, Chinedum Ndukwe. “I guess we haven’t given them any reason to think otherwise with the two big games that we’ve played in.”

Brady Quinn

The Irish are 0-2 against teams ranked in the top ten, losing 47-21 against Michigan in the third game of the season and 44-24 against USC. In a high stakes game like this against a top-ten team, Notre Dame has yet to prove itself this season. A lot of questions have lately surfaced over whether or not Notre Dame even deserves to be in the Sugar Bowl. Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn, on the other hand, says that he is tired of hearing about how badly his team is going to lose and argues that he and his teammates are not being given enough credit for all they have accomplished.
