Changes We Want To See From The Notre Dame Offense

Irish Breakdown — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 23:00:00 GMT

Bryan and Trevor outline the specific adjustments they want to see from Notre Dame’s offense during the bye week, including more formation diversity, increased pre-snap motion, better use of player versatility, and changes to CJ Carr’s launch points. They also explain why the Irish need to revamp their third-down and red-zone packages, expand the wide receiver rotation, find more ways to involve the tight ends, and use their offensive tendencies to create bigger plays.

They discuss the need for greater creativity, more flexibility in play-calling, improved use of personnel, and a scheme that puts the Irish’s talented playmakers in better positions to succeed.

Tim O’Malley on Notre Dame’s Path Forward After BYU

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 08:00:00 GMT

Locked On Irish host Tyler Wojciak is joined by Tim O'Malley of Irish Illustrated to examine where Notre Dame football goes from here following its disappointing loss to BYU. With the Fighting Irish entering a critical bye week, they discuss how their outlook on Marcus Freeman's team has changed, which issues need to be addressed immediately, and whether offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock and defensive coordinator Chris Ash can make the necessary adjustments. They also evaluate CJ Carr's development, Notre Dame's offensive identity, the running back and wide receiver rotations, and whether the defense can return to championship form. Finally, Wojciak and O'Malley look ahead to the upcoming matchups against Navy and Miami, assess Freeman's ability to rally his team, and debate whether Notre Dame can still make a run at the College Football Playoff and compete for a national championship.
