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.

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.
After a long hiatus, Frank and Greg are back at it to talk about the last two games of the year and look back at what has become a disappointing season. The lads discussed:
- Why the offense has been so bad
- What are the reasons for hope in the future?
- Does Notre Dame need to make a change at OC
- Should Notre Dame take a portal QB?
- The Cheating Cheaters of the North – Michigan
Media crowned…….. Good one!
but it it IS the same “media” that ranks ND as the 5th best team in the country.
Lose to Ohio State and can only score 10 points.Terrible offense
