Notre Dame legend Manti Te’o is back in South Bend on Saturday as the Irish take on Cal.
Te’o, who spoke at the team’s Victory March earlier in the day, received a very warm welcome from the crowd at Notre Dame Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Here’s a look at his reception:

This is one of Teo’s first trips back to South Bend since he was an All-American linebacker for the Fighting Irish. His NFL career recently ended after nearly a decade in the league.
Earlier this year, Netflix released a documentary that covered the cat-fishing scandal that victimized Te’o during his senior year at Notre Dame.
Notre Dame is hoping to avoid an 0-3 start to its season against Cal on Saturday afternoon.
