Pierce and the Longhorns will now have to tackle the immense challenge of taking down a team that continues to pull upset after upset in the postseason thus far in Notre Dame. To get to this point, the Fighting Irish had to topple the No. 1 Tennessee Volunteers in the Knoxville Super Regional.
Notre Dame has also defeated the likes of the Texas Tech Red Raiders and No. 16 Georgia Southern Eagles in the Statesboro Regional in the postseason thus far.
