Irish defense shows sign of life ahead of Boise State showdown
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- When it comes to Notre Dame there's no shortage of history or traditions and for over 100 years the Fighting Irish football team have had someone to turn to for life beyond the game.
When it comes to faith on the football field they turn to their own team chaplain.
For the last eight seasons, Father Nate Wills has served as the spiritual advisor to the blue and gold, praying with them and sharing in their triumphs and now he's sharing those stories with the Notre Dame community in his new book, encouraging the Irish to "Pray Like a Champion Today."
