SOUTH BEND — We brush off the jet lag following Notre Dame Football's season-opening 42-3 "Irish invasion" victory over Navy in Dublin, Ireland with another edition of Pod of Gold.

South Bend Tribune ND beat writer Mike Berardino and columnist Tom Noie break down how good this Notre Dame team is (best since 2012?), discuss Irish quarterback Sam Hartman's ceiling after tossing four touchdown passes and look ahead to Tennessee State in Saturday's home opener.

Kickoff for the first ever Notre Dame matchup with an Historically Black College or University is 3:30 p.m.
