In recent years, including its 2012 trip to the national championship, Notre Dame has put player names on the backs of its jerseys as a reward for the season. At this year’s Fiesta Bowl, however, the Fighting Irish will go with their standard blank nameplates, as per a request by the team’s seniors.
