Blue & Gold Illustrated will not be out on the road of the week, but we still will bring you a look at where all 21 of Notre Dame's commits between the 2019 and 2020 classes will be playing this weekend.
Take a look at the top games below, along with a list of the remaining contests.

Northwestern three-star 2019 offensive line commit Connor Foster is the star player for Milford.
This year's contest will take place at 7 p.m. ET. at Anderson.
This week could be one where Pioneer (6-0) is tested truly for the first time in 2018. The Panthers will travel to Knox (Ind.) High (5-1) at 7:30 p.m. ET.
In last year's matchup, Knox held Pioneer to its lowest point total of the season in a 28-7 Pioneer win. Kiser and company averaged over 48 points last season.
