Rocco playing would be huge. Sounds like KVA may not be. Seems he's on the fence but reading the X tea leaves, he wasn't doing every drill quite yet. Rocco is a big surprise to me. 300+ LB lineman who hit street clothes typically don't play the following week.

Huge news on Spindler also I think Farimo ends up at Vyper eventually he’s 6’3”-6’4 and 230 I’m guessing he’s gonna pack on 15-20 lbs after a year so 6’4 245-250 is perfect for Vyper

Agree, on Faraimo, which is good news if anything. Elite Pass rusher > LB, and edge is a position we typically aren’t great at recruiting.

Need to hit on 2 stud LBs in ‘26 tho - Davis a v good start.

I just don't see how we move the ball against them. We are not getting the Kentucky version of them. We will get their best version.

However, I did buy a razor just in case we shock the world.

Exactly. Not an interesting point nor original thought in the slightest from Urban. Up to his usual shit.

I find it so upsetting a former coach has such a negative vibe. I understand being objective and truthful, but Urban I truly think has some type of vendetta against the Irish......

That would be ideal - if he was going to be a really good one. Otherwise keep him at LB.

Ah, trick plays. We have at least 15 of them.

This from the guy who said the Indiana game was a toss up.

When was the last time you had something good to say about ND?

Nobody cares about your fake beard, lol.

I said plenty of good things about them after beating Indiana a week ago.

And it's all too real.

May have to use them. I think we can hold them down I the first half but get worn down on the second. That's why we have to score points, which is what I'm concerned about.

Oh, come on; they’re beatable. Notre Dame just can’t play slow and play with them in a phone booth. Notre Dame needs to get creative and get guys in space. Denbrock can draw those plays up. It’ll be up to Leonard and the offense execute.

Leonard is going to have to make plays with his arm. It is what it is. Notre Dame cannot afford to be one dimensional against them. He’s got to step up and make some throws (likely absorbing some big hits too) and the receivers and tight ends have to make the clutch catches.

I’d love to see Love motion out of the backfield and make some catches in space.

Rushing wise, for some odd reason, I just think Love struggles this game running the ball. Their front 7 is big and their linebackers are fast. I think Price and Williams will have more productivity or consistency running the ball. Crazy prediction — I’m perfectly aware.

Go Irish ☘️

Irish is going to come out in the spread with Love in the backfield and play 'hurry-up' O... put them on their heels.... have to... and I hope ga gets the ball first.... Let the D put them down and sit and rest and set the tone.

we have continually rose to the occasion for big games. We have the athletes to compete. This is the first ND team I can remember where I truly think he had the same speed as the top Tier teams. I am confident in a close game but due to my ND experience I am still worried. Those early years of my fandom are burned into my brain.
