For the Bulloughs and the Allens, Notre Dame rivalry is a family affair

To Byron Bullough and Brian Allen, MSU’s rivalry with Notre Dame is more than just a game. For them, it’s an opportunity to reflect upon their childhood and their roots. MSU will take on the Fighting Irish this Saturday under the lights on the national stage for the first time this season. It will be the last time these two foes will face each other in the regular season until 2026.
