CJ Carr is good

Check out tonight's Notre Dame inspired on-field jerseys ☘️

Just a reminder that Josh Pate willingly did his part to enable world suffering.

What returning production looks like for the 2026 college football season Notre Dame and Texas have a lot coming back, but 2025 showed that might not mean as much.

* Notre Dame's No. 1 (and most of 2025's CFP Almosts look good)
* Total transfusions at ISU, JMU, Memphis, etc.
* National averages continue to plummet (more for G6 than P4, of course)
* (Yes, this accounts for transfers)

2026 COLLEGE FOOTBALL RETURNING PRODUCTION: www.espn.com/college-foot...

Still have some fiddling to do, but my roster files are officially updated, and the returning production top 10 will probably end up looking something like this:

1. Notre Dame
2. Maryland
3. Nebraska
4. Va Tech
5. South Carolina
6. Texas
7. Minnesota
8. Georgia
9. UCLA
10. Florida

Lou Holtz has died, Notre Dame announces. The former national championship-winning coach was 89 years old.

4.37 for Jeremiyah Love in the 40. Decent time for a decent player. 🔥

Pathetic

Explosive rush rate and missed tackles forced per attempt among RBs taken in first two rounds since 2017 + what I believe are the top 3 RBs in this class (Love, Price, Coleman). Jeremiyah Love and Jonah Coleman in good company next to Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker

Sources: Notre Dame is hiring Illinois defensive coordinator Aaron Henry to become its new defensive backs coach and co-DC.

Henry was a two-time All-Big Ten safety at Wisconsin under current ND DC Chris Ash, and worked with Ash at Rutgers.

Notre Dame has five 5-star players in the Rivals 2026 recruiting class rankings.

The ACC and the Big 12 combine for three.

Clark Lea tied for the lowest ranking of Notre Dame in the final Coaches Poll

regardless of the result tonight, I have my narratives in order

How Ohio State transfers Mylan Graham and Quincy Porter fit in the #NotreDame WR room

"Graham and Porter are the kind of wide receivers you win national championships with, when you have a quarterback to go with them like CJ Carr." — Tom Lemming

Yeah, collecting Ohio State transfer WRs seems like a good strategy.

In honor of halftime of the Sugar Bowl, let us remember

All-timne playoff wins by conference

SEC - 20-11
B1G - 13-11
ACC - 8-8
Indep - 3-2
Pac-12 - 2-3
B12 - 1-8
G5 - 0-4

Maybe Joey McGuire should have focused more on offensive game planning than speaking on Notre Dame

Me when Michigan and Southern Cal both lose

The coach taking USC to Alamo Bowls and Las Vegas Bowls, with a Cotton Bowl loss to Tulane mixed in, wanted out of the Notre Dame series for playoff purposes.

Clay Helton in his first four full seasons at USC: 34-18

Lincoln Riley in his first four: 35-18

Technically progress!

You just hate to see that for Southern Cal & Lincoln Riley.

Another one of **Alabama's Really Good Wins loses**
