Notre Dame And NC State Are Playing Through Hurricane Matthew And The Game Is A Sloppy Mess

Hurricane Matthew forced a number of cancellations along the East Coast this weekend.

Notre Dame’s game today at North Carolina State was not cancelled and is currently being played as scheduled.

As you can see in the videos below, the game is barely playable thanks to the heavy rain and strong winds.
