UHND.com’s Notre Dame football and recruiting podcast hosted by Frank Vitovitch and Greg Flammang. Come for the football, stay for Greg campaigning for Kyle to play offense.
Notre Dame is in the national championship, so we dusted off the microphones and recorded a podcast. Drew Brennan of the Exit77 podcast joins Frank to talk about Notre Dame's chances in the Natty and why the Ohio State fanbase might be the worst they've encountered. Other topics include:
- The impact of Charles JAgusah at LT
- Is Ohio State really a juggernaut? Probably not.
- How Xavier Watts is being discredited by the OSU fans
- How much man versus zone should Notre Dame play?
- What does Notre Dame need to do on offense to pull off the upset
- Why ”Ohio Against the World” makes no sense whatsoever
Notre Dame has been living on the edge the first two weeks of the 2021 season. Back-to-back close wins over lesser opponents have the fanbase concerned and the Irish dropping in the polls. The signs of promise are there, even if you have squint real hard to see them right now, but the concerns are glaring as well. Greg and Frank talk through what they saw against Toledo that should give Notre Dame fans some hope while acknowledging that time is running out for the Irish to fix their problems.
- The offensive line and where Notre Dame goes from here
- What Notre Dame should do with the quarterback combo of Jack Coan and Tyler Buchner
- Positive signs from the Notre Dame defensive line
- The growing number of big plays allowed by the Irish
- Concerns in the secondary moving forward – especially this weekend against Purdue
