Podcast: Previewing Notre Dame’s Season Opener Against Media Crowned Preseason Champs Ohio State

I had to pod solo this week to preview the season opener against Ohio State, but that didn’t stop me from holding back on the media’s crowning of Ohio State this season as some unbeatable team coming off a 2-loss campaign in 2021. I broke down the matchup by covering topics such as:

  • Tyler Buchner’s first career start & Marcus Freeman’s first regular season game on the road in Columbus not being ideal
  • Why Notre Dame has an advantage in the trenches
  • Position flexibility of Notre Dame’s front seven 
  • How Notre Dame’s secondary will determine the outcome
  • Specific players to watch this week

I was also adventurous with some Portuguese beers this week, with varying levels of success.
