The ROC was formed in 2013 and is known for being extremely rowdy and raucous at every BYU sporting event, including football, basketball, soccer, and softball.

Saturday’s matchup between BYU and Notre Dame

This contest will be between two teams that are 11- 0 combined 11-0 to start the season. Notre Dame is No. 2 in the AP poll, while BYU is No. 8.

If Notre Dame wins, it could become No. 1 in the AP poll next week after Georgia’s 27-24 home loss to Auburn. However, if BYU wins, it could move into the top 5 in the new AP Poll and stay in the driver’s seat to win the Big 12.

Kickoff for this highly anticipated game is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
