Notre Dame 2026

[PHJIrish]

The Irish are off to a slow start.  The had a penalty and a blocked punt on their first possession and the Badgers are knocking on the door.

Irish hold 'em to a FG!

The Irish are having a bad first game again, and that's redundant anymore.  They just can't run the ball. Their longest run being 5 yards.  They really miss Love and Price!  They've used three running backs so far.  Coach Freeman has his hands full here!  Oh, the Irish are leading 13-10 at halftime, but it sure doesn't feel like their winning.  Gotta get the juices flowing!  Mike Golic Sr. is doing a fine job of color commentary on the radio!  I always listen to Irish radio and mute the TV.

Really missing Love and Price.

O line took over the game in the 2nd half. Defense needs to clean things up. Too many wide open receivers and wide open run lanes. Credit to Wisconsin though. They played well. Probably not the best idea or combination for a Shamrock series game though lol.

41-13 Irish win!  The coaches must have gotten in their ears at halftime!  The 2nd half was what most Irish fans had envisioned!  Both sides of the ball stepped up!  It's good to be 1-0!

Yeah, I felt like Wisconsin looked better than they did last year. Definately better equipped offensively. Liked seeing the Zionsville kid getting some catches. Does feel odd to say that though with how badly Notre Dame beat them.
