Turns Out Notre Dame Will Not Being Going Undefeated In 2025

I made Jeremyiah Love the thumbnail picture just incase Mike Denbrock stumbles across this blog. I wanted to remind him that Love is still in fact on the team. 

Love finished with 10 carries and 4 receptions. 59 total yards for arguably the best RB in the country and DEFINITELY the best player on Notre Dame. That is play-caller malpractice. Miami was better in the trenches, but you've got to give your best player a chance ESPECIALLY with a freshman starting quarterback. I do not get it. I mean ND was in the same situation last year against Texas A&M to open the year and they just stuck with their identity. Played on the front foot. Three yards at a time until the running game finally broke it open late. Why they never even tried to establish the run this year against Miami is beyond me. They've got some explaining to do. 

Two things we learned...

1) Miami is good. I would be surprised if they're not in the playoff this year. They look like the old Canes. Fast. Swagger. An absolute weapon with that Toney kid. A QB who you sneaky hate. 

2) CJ Carr is going to be very good. Pretty impressive poise for a kid in his first start against a top 10 team on the road. I'd prefer that Eli Reirdon isn't the leading receiver. Greathouse didn't have a single catch. Can't even remember a target. That has to change. Carr did everything he could though. Tough runner when needed. Some big throws. Only going to get better. Need the offensive line to give him some help and the offense should be pretty good if Denbrock gets the ball to his best players. 

Now the entire season is on the line next game against Texas A&M and in reality...every game for the rest of the year. Schedule isn't good enough for ND to have two losses and be a playoff team. 

PS: Notre Dame should not be playing opening games on the road when it's hot. Play Minnesota or something next year.
