WBRC, Dallas, Texas – Prior to Notre Dame choosing to play an all-ACC schedule in the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak, Brian Kelly led the Fighting Irish to a 50-10 victory over Navy in Ireland in 2012. The Fighting Irish had intended to play again in 2020. Kelly now stated that he supports sending his LSU

 

 

Tigers overseas. During SEC Media Days on Monday, Kelly stated, “I just think from our brand, we’ve done such a good job with the LSU brand throughout the country.” “I believe that going global is the right move for us.” In May, The Advocate revealed that LSU is attempting to play a game outside of the United States for the first time since the Tigers’ 1907 matchup with Havana University in Cuba.

 

 

Kelly, an Irish Catholic, says he enjoys traveling to Ireland because of the country’s rich history and culture. but also believes that American college football would benefit from it. “Playing football in Ireland has proven to be a fantastic opportunity for other football programs.” Both Cork Stadium

 

 

and Aviva are fantastic locations to play,” he remarked. The Aer Lingus College Football Classic will take place in Dublin’s Aviva Stadium on August 24 between Georgia Tech and Florida State, two teams from the ACC. Pittsburgh vs. Wisconsin is slated for 2025, and Kansas State vs. Iowa State is scheduled to play in the same arena on August 23, 2025.
