- 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.

- 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.

- OL: My only concern is, our starting front 7 should have provided ample opportunity and film in practice for the OL staff to analyze before we even played a single game considering it’s still the...

- Intel: Aneyas Williams has struggled the last two weeks while Nolan James seized a bigger role.

- Pick/market: At this point in time 26 beats both 24 and 25 by double digits.

- LB: Not that you care about my opinion, but I’m cool with you writing the story.

- OL/LB: I don’t think either team will finish above .500 in the big 10, but they aren’t horrible defensively.

- TE/LB: All of the usual “sky is falling” ^posters^ on the board are coming out from under their rocks to do what they do best: declare the sky is falling.

- QB/LB: Of course he can't throw it to himself, but he's the type of QB that makes receivers better.
