The 2011 Notre Dame Football season will come to a close this afternoon in Orlando, Florida. Will our beloved Fighting Irish propel themselves into the offseason with the momentum of a big victory or will we walk away with another disappointing loss? My patio furniture longs for the former.

If you are here early and looking to brush up on this matchup I would suggest revisiting Murtaugh's full game preview or Burger's breakdown of the Seminole offense.

The broadcast begins at 5:30 EST on ESPN.
