Tim O’Malley on Notre Dame’s Path Forward After BYU

Locked On Irish host Tyler Wojciak is joined by Tim O'Malley of Irish Illustrated to examine where Notre Dame football goes from here following its disappointing loss to BYU. With the Fighting Irish entering a critical bye week, they discuss how their outlook on Marcus Freeman's team has changed, which issues need to be addressed immediately, and whether offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock and defensive coordinator Chris Ash can make the necessary adjustments. They also evaluate CJ Carr's development, Notre Dame's offensive identity, the running back and wide receiver rotations, and whether the defense can return to championship form. Finally, Wojciak and O'Malley look ahead to the upcoming matchups against Navy and Miami, assess Freeman's ability to rally his team, and debate whether Notre Dame can still make a run at the College Football Playoff and compete for a national championship.
