Irish women's soccer had a preseason friendly with Northwestern and won 1-0. Doesn't mean much as both teams played a lot of players even freshmen to get everybody game experience. Irish Football continues fall camp, no big news coming out of fall camp. Hopefully we get through the camp without losing anybody to injury. There is of course no QB battle as CJ Carr will be the starter, but there is a battle to see who backs him up and none of those guys have any experience in college football. The 5 year eligibility will have a big impact on everybody, not just the Irish. Teams won't have to "manage" their freshman to preserve a red shirt year. In fact I would imagine the term Red Shirt Freshman, etc will leave our lexicon.
This young man has a bright future on and off the football field. Welcome to the age of NIL: Jeremiyah Love Doesn't Plan On Spending His $53.9M NFL Rookie Contract Because He Was Already Well Off Thanks To NIL Deals - AfroTech
Good for him, too many players end up broke because of their lifestyle choices. While I won't root for the Arizona Cardinals, but I will root for him to have a great year and career. Truly a special young man.
Lotta pre-season hype for the Irish going into the upcoming season which makes me nervous. I’m in the show me mode right now.
Tim, I'm just like you. I'm always nervous before the seaso. The greater the hype, the more nervous I am.
Here we go already: On Wednesday, the Notre Dame football communications team announced two injuries that occurred to players during preseason practice. Sophomore offensive lineman Matty Augustine suffered a right foot, fifth metatarsal injury, and freshman cornerback Chaz Smith injured his right wrist, scaphoid.
What's impressed me is the depth we've had the past couple of years. We played the championship game a couple of years ago with 2 or 3 backups on the O line.
Agree gipper, and that's one thing that this staff has done and that is to build up depth, esp on the lines so that next man up is a real option.
