Episode Details

Notre Dame enters the 2026 season with championship hype despite a 38-year win drought, putting pressure on coach Marcus Freeman. The loss of star RBs Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price stings—Love is hailed as generational—but history proves elite teams rebuild. Remember: Ohio State won a title after losing Marvin Harrison Jr., and Notre Dame replaced Heisman winner Tim Brown in ’88. Now, CJ Carr’s improved QB play, a stronger offensive line, better WRs, and a defense returning key starters could make up for it. With defense poised to allow under 17 points per game, Notre Dame might just defy expectations and shock the nation.
