Auburn and Notre Dame are still discussing a future non-conference football game.

Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick recently told the Indy Star that he hopes to schedule several non-conference games with SEC teams and mentioned Auburn and Alabama specifically.

Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs said the sides are "still continuing to work" on finding a date for a future game, which would be the first meeting of the schools.

"We were together a couple of weeks ago for an Under Armour event, Jack and I were," Jacobs said after playing in the Pro-Am of the Barbasol Championship at Grand National in Opelika on Wednesday. "We both would love to have Auburn and Notre Dame play. We first tried to do a home-and-home (or) a neutral site. We couldn't get it worked out because of scheduling issues, but trying to find an opening. ...

"I'd love to play - I think it would be great for Auburn, great for Notre Dame. Looking forward to that at some point."

Auburn does not have an opening on its schedule until 2020, when Notre Dame is slated to play Arkansas, Georgia Tech, Southern Cal, Stanford, Purdue, Navy and Wake Forrest. The next opening for major non-conference game on Auburn's schedule would be 2025 or later.

"It was interesting to see the list of teams we've never played (from the SEC, which include Mississippi State, Auburn and Kentucky)," Swarbrick told the Indy Star. "I frankly didn't know it. I have a great relationship with the Auburn athletic director (Jay Jacobs), and I'd love to figure out how to do that. There's something to be said for ticking off everyone on that list until you can say you've done it over the history of this program."
