Saturday is senior night at Notre Dame stadium - a final chance for the seniors to play at home in front of 80,000 fans, and a chance to win one more at the stadium.

Friday night, all senior athletes were at the pep rally on Irish Green. They joined once more for a singing of the Alma Mater.

They were pumped up by former Irish defensive end, Mike Golic.

“Every year somebody's got to be in the way, and this year, it's UConn. You guys, seriously, kick the crap out of them. Seriously. Let's end it here in Notre Dame at this stadium on a high note,” said Golic

Also in attendance at the pep rally was 15-year-old Jacob Krauss from Colorado.

He suffers from cystic fibrosis and with help from the Make a Wish Foundation, he's in town to spend time with the Notre Dame Band and even play with them at Saturday’s game.
