Notre Dame and Navy kick off the 2023 season later today, and when the Irish take the field in Aviva Stadium, they’ll have a slightly different look than the 2022 edition. Here’s the depth chart for today’s match-up.

Freshmen Jaden Greathouse, Rico Flores, and Jeremyiah Love all make the depth chart for game one.
Pat Coogan starts the season as the starting LG, but expect to see Billy Schrauth get some run as well.
The running back rotation should be interesting to watch today, with everyone behind Audric Estime listed as an “OR”.

Josh Burnham listed as a reserve at both DE spots is interesting. Expect to see him sooner rather than later.
All of the ORs at safety might not be the best sign for how the staff feels about its safety depth. Would have liked to see some more definitive depth there.
