Rice Mailbag! Explosiveness on Offense, WR & RB Expectations, Champ Monds’ Injury, and more

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 08:00:00 GMT

Tyler Wojciak, host of Locked On Irish, answers Notre Dame football questions ahead of Saturday’s matchup with Rice in the Friday Mailbag. First, he breaks down where Notre Dame ranked nationally in explosive plays last season, what he needs to see from Jaden Greathouse and Mylan Graham, whether Jordan Faison can become one of college football’s best wide receivers, and who could emerge as Notre Dame’s No. 2 receiver. Then, Tyler examines what Rice’s defense could throw at CJ Carr and the Irish offense, whether the current running backs are being unfairly compared to Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price, and why Champ Monds’ lack of high school game experience is a legitimate concern for his future at Notre Dame. Finally, the show celebrates Eli Raridon scoring the first touchdown of the 2026 NFL season, unveils this year’s new anytime-touchdown prediction, picks current Notre Dame players who could become coaches someday, and settles the most important Rice question of the week.

Notre Dame’s QB Future After Champ Monds’ Injury & Evaluating the Irish Offense | Crossover With The Portal

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 10 Sep 2026 21:00:00 GMT

The Portal host Brian Smith is joined by Locked On Irish host Tyler Wojciak to break down the biggest questions surrounding Notre Dame football after Week 1. First, they discuss the season-ending injury to 2027 quarterback commit Champ Monds and what it could mean for the future of the Notre Dame quarterback room, including whether the Irish could pursue a transfer quarterback if CJ Carr enters the NFL Draft after the season. Then, Brian and Tyler examine Notre Dame’s offensive performance against Wisconsin, how improved offensive line play allowed the Irish to become more aggressive in the second half, and whether concerns about Notre Dame’s playmakers could matter in the College Football Playoff. Finally, they look ahead to the coming weeks and identify what Notre Dame needs to accomplish before its matchup with BYU, including getting the wide receivers more involved and creating meaningful opportunities for defensive reserves.

Final Thoughts About Notre Dame’s Win Over Wisconsin With Luke Smith

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 09 Sep 2026 08:00:00 GMT

Notre Dame football opened the 2026 season with a 41-13 win over Wisconsin at Lambeau Field, but a closer look at CJ Carr, the offensive line, Notre Dame’s defense, the running backs and several key position battles reveals much more about the Fighting Irish than the final score. Locked On Irish host Tyler Wojciak is joined by Luke Smith to start with their boots-on-the-ground report from Green Bay before breaking down three things they liked from Notre Dame’s season opener, including Carr’s command of the offense, Anthonie Knapp’s performance and the physicality of the Irish defense, followed by three things they didn’t like, including Notre Dame’s rotations along the offensive and defensive lines, the lack of production from several wide receivers and the injuries to Brauntae Johnson and Jason Onye.
