Notre Dame-Wake Forest rescheduled for Dec. 12 after coronavirus postponement

The makeup date for Wake Forest and Notre Dame's rescheduled game will be Dec. 12, the ACC announced Wednesday.

The game, billed as the Duke's Mayo Kickoff Classic, was originally set to be played in Charlotte, North Carolina on Saturday. The game was moved to Winston-Salem when attendance was capped by the state's coronavirus restrictions but was postponed Tuesday after the Irish had seven players test positive for COVID-19 and announced that 13 players were in isolation.

Wake Forest moved up its game against Campbell, originally scheduled for Oct. 9, to Oct. 2 to prevent the school from having consecutive open dates.

The ACC's adjusted schedule, released in August, called for teams to play 11 games -- 10 in conference and one out of conference -- concluding with the ACC championship game on Dec. 12 or Dec. 19.

Given that Wake Forest-Notre Dame and Virginia- Virginia Tech -- rescheduled from Sept. 19 -- have been moved to Dec. 12, it would appear likely that the latter date will be used for the league's title game.
