Shafer was questioned about that at ACC days and stated that he thought having that game in NJ was, I'm paraphrasing, a great recruiting tool.

edit: Here is the question/answer.

[B]Q. New Jersey has been identified as a
territory that you want to bump up the
recruiting.[/B]
SCOTT SHAFER: That's right.
[B]Q. You happen to have Notre Dame on
the schedule at East Rutherford. That seems to
work out pretty well for you.[/B]
SCOTT SHAFER: Yes, it does. It's a
good statement, and I agree with you. Yeah, we're
looking forward to getting back into New Jersey.
Back in the heyday of Syracuse, it used to be Penn
State and Syracuse recruiting in that area. I think
Coach Schiano did a great job. He kind of built a
wall around New Jersey and did a nice job, but I do
think that there's opportunities there, and we're
excited. We've had good success in the second
half of this year recruiting out in that area, had a lot
of kids up to campus, and looking forward to that.
I think playing in the Meadowlands against
Notre Dame will be an added benefit to our
recruiting push for that part of the country.
