After losing 9 starters, why all the buzz that ND could make it back to the CFP again this year? Is that crazy or is there some rational thinking behind this?

I respectfully disagree with the 10-2 season, I agree more with Mike I this schedule is challenging but we are favored in all but one game. My guess is 11-1 and a playoff berth
ReplyDeleteMy biggest concerns are how quickly the offensive line gels together, along with how healthy we stay
We may not all realize it but this is a reloading program now
Enjoy the journey. Really appreciate all your insight each week during the season
As always great analysis. It's so refreshing to see all these kids go to the NFL and here we are excited about a potential great team this year.
ReplyDeleteIf we are indeed really good then teams like Florida St, Virginia Tech and Virginia should not be a threat
ReplyDeleteComes down to four games we need to be prepared and ready
NC,Whiskey,SC and Cincy
Does Cincy really recruit anywhere near us?
We have no excuses to be worse than 10-2 but 11-1 or 12-0 may be our potential
This team is good and I like the challenge of the schedule but don't see the heavyweights that we have in 22' and 23'
Strengths are the receivers running backs defensive line, linebackers. If the taleted offensive line performs were gonna be really good.
ReplyDeleteWatching Austin in practice he looks like a combination of Michael Floyd and Tim Brown. Saying a lot but wow does this kid have the a high ceiling.
ReplyDeleteI expect a blowout during the second half
ReplyDeleteIs playing at night @VT easier than getting NC @home?
ReplyDeleteWe better wait a few weeks until we make season predictions.
Desmond Howard said this is a ND program reloading, looks for us to be in the playoffs again
ReplyDeleteMike C I would like to hear why it is harder for ND to recruit? I think a program like Nebraska or Wisconsin would be hard to recruit but Notre Dame? I would think it would be easier especially with a sort of built in farm system with all the Catholic secondary schools and potential student internet in ND
ReplyDeleteWe need to fix our open field tackling, and the offensive line is gonna need some time. The talent is obviously everywhere on the field,. We're gonna improve every week
ReplyDeleteI m disappointed how our players reacted to some of our success during the game which may of led to our 4th quarter issues
Kyle Hamilton penalty after a interception really hurt taking us from near midfield and starting at the 30 something and giving us a longer field
QB and offense looked solid second half but need to run block better which I think will come with time
Florida St will have a nice year, better team than i expected Go Irish
ReplyDeleteToledo isn't an average team, favored to win the MAC have beaten schools like Penn St Michigan, Purdue and Minnesota in past years
ReplyDeleteLove you guys,. Thanks so much for these podcasts.
ReplyDeleteThey make the games more enjoyable having your insight prior.
