TRIPLE THREAT: Will Black, Bryce Young, and Khary Adams

Five Notre Dame Football Photos for a Friday: Forgotten Running Backs

Marcus Freeman is living in an absurd world
College football is an absurd sport, and the lack of the triple option makes it even more so… let’s run it.

Much has been made of Notre Dame’s 2026 football schedule, and the Irish have received some very public media and fan tongue lashings over the perceived strength of the 12 game slate (or lack there of).

The idea of Notre Dame and BYU playing annually as a new “Holy War” in college football isn’t anything new.
