What channel is the Notre Dame vs Wake Forest game on? When, where & how to watch the Week 12 game
Week 12 of college football action continues with a clash between Notre Dame and Wake Forest. The Fighting Irish are heavy favorites against the Demon Deacons, despite their recent loss to Clemson.
Notre Dame remains the best FBS Independent team with a 7-3 record. Their record includes a massive win over USC in October, when they thrashed the Trojans and held Caleb Williams to under 200 passing yards for the first time this season.
They're going up against a Wake Forest team that hasn't found its groove all year. The Demon Deacons are well below .500 with a 4-6 win-loss record, which puts them at the bottom of the Atlantic Coast Conference. They've also lost three straight games and are heading into Notre Dame Stadium with a paltry 1-3 record on the road.

Notre Dame quarterback situation
Sam Hartman will hope to continue his stellar play for the Fighting Irish, his old team.
His most recent game, a loss to Clemson, saw him tally 146 pass yards on 13-30 attempts. He also threw two interceptions in what was perhaps one of the relatively quieter games of his season.
Things should be a bit easier for Hartman when going up against Wake Forest's defense this time around. The Demon Deacons have failed to crack the top 50 in six out of seven major team defense stats (via TeamRankings).
Wake Forest quarterback situation
Mitch Griffis was hailed as the best QB to fill the void left by Hartman, and for a good portion of the season, he did live up to the mantle. But Griffis suffered an injury earlier this season and was only back in action for Wake Forest's game against Florida State.
On the other hand, Michael Kern saw the field in the Demon Deacons' most recent game versus NC State over Griffis. Against the Wolfpack, Griffis only tallied this split: 19 passing yards on 2-3 attempts, getting sacked three times. Kern, on the other hand, had 137 pass yards on 14-of-26 attempts, with one touchdown and an interception.
That said, don't be surprised if Wake Forest switches liberally between Griffis and Kern come game day.
