The 2021 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football season is officially underway with the start of fall camp yesterday. It’s a ridiculously exciting time for the team and for fans. Because of this excitement, we tend to dive in head first with every bit of new information — and that’s absolutely fine. If anyone gets it — I do — but we have to remember that the start of fall camp is NOT the same as the first day of game week when we evaluate everything that comes from practice.
So for various reasons, I decided to do a little experiment this season and lay back in the cut just a bit.
