- Pick/market: Football is fun, 3-0 is really fun, but the pursuit of a National Championship requires a non- stop pursuit of perfection, and that is hard work.

- Pick/market: Well, the PAT was good but a flag moves them up, and Don Bosco goes for two instead - and does not get there.

- Pick/market: INSIDE NOTRE DAME-PURDUE - Game 4: No.

- Pick/market: marcus did say that, but we did immediately bring it up in instant that it was not the case.

- Pick/market: Just has to play better.

- Pick/market: On Saturday night, Notre Dame took down Michigan State 27-10 in a wet, rainy edition of the Battle for the Megaphone Trophy.

- Pick/market: Tim Hyde called it...The WR rotation is really only 4 guys...If they played 6-7, then maybe we'd see him but they're just playing those 4 right now with a sprinkle of Bettis.

- SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The University of Notre Dame football team (3-0) powered past Michigan State (2-1), 27-10, on a rainy evening in sold-out Notre Dame Stadium. - Holding a 17-10 lead at halftime, the Irish, in similar fashion to their season-opening victory over Wisconsin in Lambeau Field three weeks ago, rode a physical and dominating second half en route to a comfortable win.

- Injury: Jagusah has a couple more months of rehab Augustine was expected mid-October, so while that better not be sooner (high risk for re-injury) let's hope it's not later.

- QB: He apparently prefers RPO, similar net effect but depends on good and quick QB decisions.

- QB/WR: Parks brings pressure, but the QB is able to lob it up behind Thornton and the WR comes back to grab it for a first down CB having quite a night trying to stay...

- QB: lol Folorunsho just rushed outside and didn't ID the run play, you could see the exact moment he realized during his free run to the QB that the ball was a couple yards upfield.

- Pick/market: CJ Carr continues to put Notre Dame on his back.

- Pick/market: NOTRE DAME, Ind.

- Coaching: For people who are very focused on the RB snap allotment, James is listed as an 'OR' with Aneyas on the depth chart, and 'playing with velocity' is usually a key term that tells...

- Before the 2026 Purdue game, Notre Dame coordinator Marty Biagi said Micah Drescher had moved ahead in the kickoff competition after handling all five kicks against Michigan State. Biagi tied the choice to ball placement and said the job is evaluated weekly. This is a current advantage over Erik Schmidt, not a permanent assignment or a promise that every kick will be a touchback. - Notre Dame kicker Spencer Porath is five-of-six on field goals in 2026 after missing a 39-yarder against Michigan State. Marty Biagi said Porath immediately identified a cut or slice swing before reviewing the tablet. That reports the coach's diagnosis of the miss and the kicker's response, not a new injury, a replacement decision or proof the mechanical issue cannot recur. - Notre Dame repeatedly rehearsed the 2026 Michigan State fake punt that gained 11 yards on fourth-and-13. Marty Biagi said he presented a plan he trusted and Marcus Freeman authorized the call. After Brayden Robinson's inside cut fell short, Biagi emphasized clearer execution details for the runner; he did not announce another fake or a standing fourth-down policy.

- Ahead of the 2026 Purdue game, Marcus Freeman said Notre Dame safety Luke Talich had a hand injury awaiting further evaluation. Depending on its severity and whether taping or casting would allow him to play, Talich could return that week or miss roughly a week; he was not yet cleared. - Freeman said freshman defensive end Rodney Dunham deserved more defensive work than his late-game snaps against Michigan State. Notre Dame already has four proven ends, but the staff intends to find more snaps for Dunham alongside his existing special-teams role. - Freeman said Notre Dame kept Nolan James Jr. in against Michigan State because he had the hot hand. James and Aneyas will both continue to play, with game production influencing who stays in; Freeman did not announce an exclusive starter or a permanent benching. - Notre Dame's run concepts remain similar from 11 and 12 personnel. Freeman said the staff chooses those packages around the opponent's likely defensive responses, sometimes using 12 personnel because the expected look is more predictable. - Freeman said Notre Dame tailors its third-down pressure package each week to the opponent's protections. The defensive line is identifying protection tells and making in-game adjustments, while rotating fresh players; Purdue preparation also emphasizes disguising the defense before the snap.

- OL/LB: You can still stretch the field against two high safeties, especially if they run cover 2 zone scheme.

- QB/LB: He has head coaching aspirations, if ND has even close to the season we hope, hell get some looks.

- RB/DL: DT-Francis Brewu is focused on improving his pass rush from the middle of the Irish defensive line.

- LB: The whole point of a run blitz is to disguise it pre snap, so the positioning of the LB's close to or far from the line doesn't tell you anything.

- Defense: In their defense (including Williams), success in the current college football world if you are NOT an obvious future NFL star depends on drawing attention to yourself, so that other coaches try to poach...

- Practice: I’ll add, he’s the biggest bust in 20 years and it’s not even close.

- Practice: It’s absolutely ok but it’s not what anyone expected out of fall camp.

- Intel: On the fake punt: Freeman sounds like he regrets it, says he should have let it go.
