The "U" Looks Mortal
- Injury: Despite the new CFL landscape of transfers and NIL...there seems to be a common theme each season that certain teams jump out as being almost unbeatable.

Irish Illustrated Preview: Michigan State (2-0) @ No. 3 Notre Dame (2-0)
- Notre Dame is averaging 114.5 rushing yards per game and 3.58 per carry through two games, with inconsistent production from the line and backs. CJ Carr has been sacked only once for eight yards, so sack losses do not explain the low rushing totals. The preview separates the run-blocking concern from stronger early pass protection.
- Aneyas Williams has taken 45.3% of Notre Dame's running-back carries. Nolan James Jr. and Jonaz Walton have combined for 96 yards on 21 carries, and James has five catches for 66 yards and a touchdown. The writer sees potential for the rotation to shift toward the younger backs, but reports no announced depth-chart or workload change.

- Pick/market: Really, I can see this being something like a 45-17 score.
