Notre Dame enters fall break at their bye week at 6-1. The team uses the time to get healthier both physically and mentally. Many players travel with Jerry Tillery going to Ireland, Ronnie Stanley heading home to Las Vegas, Joe Schmidt goes home to California, DeShone Kizer returns home to Toledo, and Sheldon Day goes to Indianapolis. Coaches also spend time traveling, but this is so that they can recruit players for the future.
