Notre Dame Senior Class Ready For Final Impact

The 2023 recruiting class arrived with top-10 rankings across every major service, but now enters its senior season with a chance to define its legacy through on-field impact and NFL development rather than recruiting stars. Led by elite talent like Jeremiyah Love and supported by a deep group of projected starters and key transfers, the class has produced contributors across the roster while still leaving room for players like Charles Jagusah to make a major final statement. The show examines whether this group has ultimately lived up to, exceeded, or fallen short of the lofty expectations that came with its recruiting rankings.

Rapid Fire: Mike Denbrock Talks Wisconsin, Texas Judge Reinstates Brendan Sorsby's Eligibility

Today's Rapid Fire topics include: We hear comments from Notre Dame offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock from the BLeav In Giants Podcast and ask: Does Notre Dame or Wisconsin benefit more from the teams playing in the first game of the season, how underrated is it that CJ Carr faces Notre Dame's secondary in practice in the offseason, do the Irish do a good enough job of playing the team's standard and not who they're playing against? We guess the Fan Duel over/under win total for Wisconsin. We discuss Monday's ruling by a Texas judge that will allow Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby to play this season in spite of his NCAA suspension for placing bets on his own team. We ask if retiring QB Russell Wilson is a Hall of Famer.
