Notre Dame Midseason Review With Luke Smith

Locked On Irish host Tyler Wojciak is joined by Luke Smith for a comprehensive midseason evaluation of Notre Dame football following the bye week. With seven games in the books and five remaining in the regular season, they break down the three things they've liked most about the Fighting Irish in 2026, including the development of the offensive line, improved kicking game, and dominant rushing defense. Then, they examine the biggest disappointments of the season, from the inconsistent impact of Notre Dame's defensive stars to the lack of production from its offensive transfer portal additions.
