Notre Dame made short work of Navy over the weekend like they should every year but don’t always do. In the process, Notre Dame showcased the talent in its freshman class, which should have Irish fans excited for the present and future of Notre Dame football. Here’s this week’s 5 things I liked.
Freshmen, freshmen everywhere
Saturday must have been a tough night for the “Notre Dame doesn’t play freshman” crowd. To be fair, all the connections to the previous staff where this stereotype developed are no longer around now that Tommy Rees is in Tuscaloosa. Still, Notre Dame played more true freshmen in an opener in non-garbage time than I can remember in a while.
