Notre Dame’s Big Play Potential | Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football News

Notre Dame’s offense exploded for 34 points against Wisconsin, and this weekend’s showdown with Rice is their chance to truly hit stride. Three storylines, two key matchups, and one breakout player to watch: receivers should see more production, the offensive line dominates Rice’s front seven, and tight ends Cooper Flanagan and James Flanigan—both 6’6”—create mismatches Rice can’t handle. Look for tackles to battle edge rusher Chibby Nwajuaku while Micah Gilbert faces off against taller corner Kyren Condoll. The real X-factor? Flanagan—his size and pass-catching ability could unlock CJ Carr’s game and ignite chemistry across the offense. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
