Notre Dame Football 2024

Notre Dame’s focus this week is on execution. The staff will develop a game plan to attack the Redhawks but success will be defined by how well they run, pass, block, and tackle. The Irish do not need to out-scheme Martin and his staff in order to win. The advantage they enjoy in talent alone should be decisive. The outcome will not be truly satisfying, however, unless the team can answer most of its lingering questions.

It’s a MAC team. I’m nervous.

 

Awful start to the game for the Irish offense.

 

ugh Freeman does not have the team ready to play, again.

 

Finally get a drive and lead 7-3. Riley can run that's for sure, but just no threat passing.

 

Well the Irish finally get some passing from Riley and he throws a 38 yd strike for a TD and we go 80 + yards for a TD in just about 30 seconds. 14-3 Irish.

 

This team will have to play much better if they expect to beat Louisville.

 

Amazing, the Irish open at -9.5 vs Louisville. I'd have expected the opposite.

 

We have a couple of really talented running backs but our O line can’t hold their blocks long enough for the type of plays we run. It’s pretty obvious why we have a hard time recruiting top receivers. We’re back to the Golson years.

 

Our punter was much better yesterday. He averaged 47+ yards and, based on what I saw on TV, decent hang time.

 

Watching his press conference, Coach Freeman looked worn out and frustrated.

 

Why should he be any different from the rest of us?

 

Irish inched up in the AP Poll from 17 to 16. Louisville is ranked #15, so a big opportunity awaits the Irish if they can get their act together.

 

Never has the word “IF” been so meaningful. At least not so far this season.

 

Anyone hear from Tim. Hope he's OK.

 

No, I have wondered where he's been.

 

Not exactly sure what this is about, NIL money and opportunity I guess.

Jaden Mickey, CB, has "quit the team" ...but he will stay and get his degree this Spring and then enter the transfer portal as a graduate transfer.

 

Good news from the Ladies Soccer team, they got a 1-0 win at Charlottesville over UVA only their 2nd win ever road win over UVA. They are a young team with a lot of freshmen in the starting 11, but they seem to be very good, which they will need to be in an extremely competitive ACC women's soccer.

 

Irish men's basketball picked up a big verbal today. Brad Kohler from Indianapolis Cathedral. Top 100 player.
