"Well, this isn't the start I was expecting for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Two games in and the record says zero wins, two losses. The story, however, is a little more complicated than that. Sometimes the numbers on the surface don't capture the full picture, and sometimes the beginning of a season doesn't tell the whole story of where it could go."
"On the surface, Notre Dame's 0-2 start looks like a disaster. The Irish lost their opener on the road to the Miami Hurricanes, then followed it up with a one-point heartbreaker against the Texas A&M Aggies in South Bend. That kind of start usually feels like a season that slipped away before it ever had a chance to take off. But not all 0-2 records are created equal."
"That being said, Notre Dame is a bit of a mixed bag. The good thing is that QB CJ Carr has shown poise for a freshman, completing over 60% of his passes and already has chemistry with tight end Eli Raridon, who has emerged as a real weapon. The run game has also flashed upside with Jadarian"
Notre Dame opened the season 0-2 after a road loss to the Miami Hurricanes and a one-point defeat to Texas A&M in South Bend. Both losses were competitive and came against programs that project as national contenders, which tempers the immediate alarm. Freshman QB CJ Carr has shown poise, completing over 60% of his passes and forming a connection with tight end Eli Raridon, who has become a key weapon. The running game has shown flashes of upside. Upcoming performances will determine whether early struggles are temporary tests or indicators of deeper issues.
