NBC Sports Group's coverage of the 2014 Notre Dame Football season concludes this Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET on NBC, when the Fighting Irish host the No. 24 Louisville Cardinals at Notre Dame Stadium in the team's final home game this season. Coverage begins at 3 p.m. ET with Countdown to Kickoff, NBC's Notre Dame pre-game show.

In addition, NBC Sports Group will present a Football College Subdivision tripleheader on NBCSN this Saturday, highlighted by "The Game" between the Yale Bulldogs and No. 15 Harvard Crimson at 12:30 p.m. ET. Coverage continues at 3:30 p.m. ET with the No. 1 New Hampshire Wildcats vs. Maine Black Bears, and PRO FOOTBALL TALK analyst Kevin Gilbride enters the booth to provide color commentary at 7:30 p.m. ET when the No. 21 Richmond Spiders visit the No. 22 William & Mary Tribe.

For the second straight week, Doug Flutie will work in NBC's Notre Dame broadcast booth alongside play-by-play voice Dan Hicks, while Mike Mayock will provide in-depth Xs-and-Os analysis from the sideline. Flutie made his booth debut last week after serving as a sideline analyst for NBC's first five Notre Dame games this season, while Mayock shifted to the sidelines last weekend for the first time since joining NBC Sports Group as a Notre Dame analyst in 2010. Kathryn Tappen continues as sideline reporter.

"We were pleased with the results of last week's broadcast positions and thought it made for a more compelling telecast," said Sam Flood, Executive Producer, NBC Sports & NBCSN.

The Fighting Irish (7-3) and Cardinals (7-3) face off in their first-ever meeting this Saturday, marking Notre Dame's 143rd different opponent in its history. Notre Dame looks to rebound from a 43-40 overtime loss to Northwestern last weekend in South Bend, while Louisville is coming off a 38-19 win at Boston College on Nov. 8.

Liam McHugh will host COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF at 3 p.m. ET on NBC, on-site at Notre Dame Stadium. He will be joined by Mayock and two-time SUPER BOWL champion Hines Ward. McHugh, Mayock and Ward will also manage halftime coverage, as well as the post-game show, which will air on NBCSN.

YALE AT NO. 15 HARVARD - "THE GAME" - SATURDAY AT 12:30 P.M. ET ON NBCSN

NBCSN will present "The Game," one of college football's most historic rivalries, this Saturday at 12:30 p.m. ET, when the No. 15 Harvard Crimson host the Yale Bulldogs with the Ivy League title on the line. Saturday's meeting marks the 131st all-time meeting between the two schools, the second-oldest rivalry behind Yale-Princeton. Harvard enters "The Game" with a 9-0 record, and a No. 15 FCS ranking. Yale sits in second in the Ivy League standings at 8-1, and can earn a share of the Ivy League crown with a win on Saturday. Yale leads the all-time series with a 65-57-8 record, but the Crimson has won the last seven meetings.

Randy Moss (play-by-play) and Ross Tucker (analyst) will call the action from Harvard Stadium in Allston, Mass.

NO. 1 NEW HAMPSHIRE AT MAINE - SATURDAY AT 3:30 P.M. ET ON NBCSN

The top-ranked team in FCS football takes the field on NBCSN on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET, when the No. 1 New Hampshire Wildcats (9-1) visit the Maine Black Bears (5-5) in a Colonial Athletic Association matchup. The Wildcats have won nine straight games to move to the top of the FCS rankings, while Maine enters the game on a three-game winning streak.

Paul Burmeister (play-by-play) and Rene Ingoglia (analyst) will call the action from Alfond Stadium in Orono, Maine.

NO. 21 RICHMOND AT NO. 22 WILLIAM & MARY - SATURDAY AT 7:30 P.M. ET ON NBCSN

PRO FOOTBALL TALK analyst and former New York Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride joins the NBCSN broadcast booth Saturday night when the No. 22 William & Mary Tribe (7-4) hosts the No. 21 Richmond Spiders (7-4). The Tribe has won two straight games including a 37-14 victory at Towson last weekend, while Richmond has dropped its last two games.
