Notre Dame Fighting Irish quarterback CJ Carr is rewriting expectations for true freshmen, leading the nation in yards per attempt while star running back Jeremiah Love projects as a top-five NFL draft pick. Brian Smith and Tyler Wojciak break down Notre Dame's College Football Playoff prospects, examining critical offensive line injuries to Charles Jagusah, Billy Schrauth, and Ashton Craig that threaten the team's championship aspirations. The discussion covers the defense's dramatic transformation under coordinator Chris Ash, Love's jaw-dropping athleticism that sets him apart from every college football player, and Carr's surprising composure that resembles a ten-year veteran.
