Training Camp is Underway! Biggest Questions That Need Answers Before Week 1

from Locked On Irish - Daily Podcast On Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football & Basketball · host Locked On Podcast Network

Notre Dame football officially opens fall camp, and the next few weeks will determine whether the Irish have the playmakers, offensive line, defensive front, and depth needed to compete for a College Football Playoff berth in 2026. Tyler Wojciak breaks down the seven biggest questions Notre Dame needs to answer before taking the field against Wisconsin, including whether the offense has enough true difference-makers, if the offensive line can finally live up to its national reputation, how high the defensive line's ceiling really is, whether DJ McKinney can solidify the secondary, who could emerge as a surprise starter during camp, why Spencer Porath may transform special teams, and the battle to become C.J. Carr's backup quarterback.   (0:00) - Intro (1:38) - Can Notre Dame's Offense Reach Another Level?
