What is their record against not OSU, PSU, Michigan, Oregon - the teams above them on the list?

Outside of that, they don't play a lot of ranked teams. Maybe they should join a conference.

 

[fightingirish26]

Blue blood nebraska not even on that list

 

[greyhammer90]

Sampson and Fortuna both picked ND to win it all.

Random question... anyone know of a place to buy a cool "Leave No Doubt" shirt?

 

[Pete]

There was a guy on ndnation who made some. Might want to check there.

Looking at 2024 title run roster and seeing who would start on this team from that team.

Offense
QB - No
RB - Jeremiyah Love
Boundary - Beau Collins although wouldn't be surprised if our boundary matches or outperforms. But have to give Beau the nod
Field - No. Senior Fiason > Sophomore Fiason
Slot - No. Senior Greathouse > Sophomore Greathouse
TE: Mitchel Evans would start
LT: No, sophomore Will Black > Freshman Knapp
LG: No, junior Knapp > sophomore Pendelton
C: Push?
RG: Rocco > whoever our RG is clearly
RT: No. I'd take Geurby as a junior over Amil Wagner as a sophomore.

So 4 starters, 5 if you give them center.

Defense
DE - No. Senior Boubacar over RJ Oben
DE 2 - No. Junior Young over Burnham
DT: Rylie Mills (although could push)
NT: No. I would take ours over 275 Lb Howard Cross who's injured, no knock on him.
LB 1: No. Senior Bowen over Sophomore Bowen
LB2: No. 5th year Sneed over junior Sneed
LB3: No. KVA > Jack Kiser
CB1: No. Current Moore > Freshman Moore
CB2: No. DJ Mickiney > Sophomore Gray.
Nickle: No. Senior Gray > Clark (could argue push)
SS: No. Senior Shuler > sophomore Shuler.
FS: Watts would start although Tae could ultimately be better and drafted higher.

So 2-3 starters on defense from my view.

Rylie Mills would be an obvious starter. That one isn’t pushing.

 

[pumpdog20]

I'll go Gilbert over Collins, because well Collins wasn't very good at catching the ball. To be fair, he did seem like a good blocker though.

 

[GrangerIrish24]

Got to meet the stage crew for AC/DC today. One of them told me he was stressed because “why would someone schedule this the day before the football team has to play in the stadium”. I informed him it would be alright since it was a night game……

You're probably right but I believe there's a high chance it's a push by EOY.

I'd disagree on Gilbert over Beau. Not because Beau lit the world on fire, but Gilbert's literally done nothing and they brought Porter in to start over him.

2024 Squad
RB: Love, Price

Push (for now)
OL: Craig - Coogan, Spindler - ???
Nickel: Clark - Gray
S: Watts - Johnson

 

[Katzenboyer]

Don't have any problems with your lists above except for Kiser. Regardless of where he lined up, I think he's a starter (and captain) on this year's team.

Probably at Indiana

 

[RudyVerse]

Ausberry

Ausberry won't be a starter at any point unless of course there's injury.

Bowen and Ausberry are the starters

 

[pumpdog20]

The reigning DPOY is a push... interesting.

 

[NDPhilly]

Its a pretty low bar for Gilbert / a boundary in general to be better than Beaux. After his big catch against A&M he became really unreliable. Had 425 yards and 2 TDs in the regular season. If we want to include Mylan Graham in his spot as well i'd 100% pick him.

His lack of ball knowledge really bit him in the ass. You did the right thing causing more stress and anxiety in his life

Records are meant to be broken 🤷‍♂️

Tae gonna go R1 in 2027 or 2028

Think Leonard didn’t do him favors tbf, but yeah could easily change

I chose Watts but ask it this way, do you think Tae goes before the end of the 3rd round? I do.

Bowen and Ausberry are the starters

Ausberry gonna leave ND with north of 1,200 career snaps and be described as a backup in memory lol

It’s sad that I keep forgetting he is on the team.

 

[Katzenboyer]

Based on the depth chart released this week, he's starting over Ausberry.

And I think they would play far more base 4-3 if Kiser is one this year's team. He was a REALLY good player for the Irish.

 

[Dale]

If we’re gettin overly meta with this hypothetical, Kiser’s value significantly declines next to a SR Bowen as Bowen now possesses a lot of Kiser’s best qualities.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Rylie Mills would be an obvious starter. That one isn’t pushing.

Obvious if you're only looking at past production. I'm in wait and see mode with our DTs. It could be a push and it could tilt in either direction.
