Notre Dame 2025 Season Preview With Crain and Company

Notre Dame 2025 Season Preview With Crain and Company originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Notre Dame had an outstanding season in year three of the Marcus Freeman era, and the Irish will look to build on that in 2025. A season ago the Fighting Irish advanced to the national title game, and now in season four Notre Dame will look to take that final jump and try to a title. Advertisement I joined Crain and Company to preview the Notre Dame season: Here are some of the topics that we discussed: *** We discuss expectations for Notre Dame in 2025, and what the floor is for the team and what the ceiling is. I argue that at least getting back to the semi-finals is the floor of what we should expect from the Irish this season. *** We discuss the type of athlete that Notre Dame has landed since Freeman was hired as head coach. There is still a misconception about how good Notre Dame is athletically and we discuss that during the show. Notre Dame's depth of talent across the depth chart is very impressive.

Carr is battling Kenny Minchey for the starting job and we discuss how the team can use the talent around them to thrive while the quarterbacks get experience. *** We talk the game that gives the most concern heading into the season, and that focus is on Texas A&M. *** We will discuss how the third-down and short yardage offense will look without Riley Leonard. We'll also spend time talking about what the offensive line looks like in 2025. *** We talk about what the floor and ceiling are for Notre Dame in 2025.
