Final Thoughts on Notre Dame’s Win Over Rice With Luke Smith

Tyler Wojciak is joined by Luke Smith for their weekly Tuesday final thoughts on Notre Dame’s 52-0 win over Rice, beginning with Luke’s boots-on-the-ground report from South Bend and fan submissions from the home opener. They break down the biggest positives from the blowout, including the return of Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa, Bryce Young’s emergence, Notre Dame’s defensive line depth, nine different wide receivers making plays, freshman Rodney Dunham flashing, and encouraging debuts from quarterbacks Noah Grubbs and Teddy Jarrard. They also examine the concerns surrounding Notre Dame’s running game and Aneyas Williams, discuss the student section’s viral Miami chant, and look ahead to Michigan State as the Irish prepare for their first night game of the season.
