Happy game day, Notre Dame fans.

We've heard Marcus Freeman use this phrase a lot in 2026: "It's a choice." It's a choice to gang tackle, to finish with violence, to do your job when you don't get the ball.

Here's how those choices drive Freeman's team: https://t.co/zKkfig62l5

Soble Says: What the heck is going on with the Notre Dame run game?

Tried to parse through the many questions on why Notre Dame is averaging 3.6 yards per carry through two weeks, how much Irish fans should worry and much more.

Jeremiyah Love got the edge inside the 5-yard line. Notre Dame fans know how that ends.

Full story on Love's performance, as well as standout season debuts from:

Me on a Friday night 🤝 Notre Dame football in the immediate future:

It’s time for Brewu.

Francis Brewu led all Fighting Irish, by far, with a PFF defense grade of 90.5. His pass rush grade clocked in at 91.9, with a team-high 4 pressures and a sack.

FINAL: Notre Dame 41, Wisconsin 13

Plenty to clean up. But hard to complain when that’s the final. Dominant second half provided some confidence for the weeks to come.

The Irish are 1-0.

[Jack Soble @jacksoble56]

Marcus Freeman said his decision on captains came down to naming four or naming nine. Felt nine was too many, but...

"We decided on four, but we got a bunch of guys that are gonna choose to lead. You don't need a title to lead."

Soble Says: Which players should Notre Dame football fans be talking about more?

Thanks to everyone who submitted questions for this week's @BGInews mailbag. Notes on the RG battle, the early schedule, whether select breakouts are real and much more: https://t.co/j7Ro3lFNCS

Every time Mount Carmel needed a stop, Notre Dame LB commit Roman Igwebuike delivered.

"Don't wait for somebody else to do it," Igwebuike told @BGInews. "If you put it all on me, I'm gonna make a play."

Good morning, Notre Dame fans. Fall camp begins today.

In the months that preceded it, Marcus Freeman had two returning captains for the first time. This is how Drayk Bowen and Adon Shuler established the player-led culture Freeman needs.

For @BGInews: https://t.co/bhBpal7jO0

[Jack Soble @jacksoble56]

We’ve never been more back.

I’m here on Notre Dame’s campus for Practice No. 1 of fall camp. Couldn’t be more excited for another year of covering the Irish. Thanks for following along.

Stay tuned this afternoon for practice standouts, takeaways and more for @BGInews

[Jack Soble @jacksoble56]

For the first time since it opened, Marcus Freeman made the walk from Shields Hall to Notre Dame's practice field this morning.

"The cameras are back. That's awesome."

[Jack Soble @jacksoble56]

What stood out about Leonard Moore and Francis Brewu's performances? How did Jayden Sanders handle his busy day? Emptied the notebook with answers to that and more in defensive observations.

Notre Dame personnel staffer Jourdan Blake is leaving his post to work for the Las Vegas Raiders ‼️

@jacksoble56 has the story: https://t.co/OwOZHlc5oP

[Jack Soble @jacksoble56]

Three Notre Dame players were named Walter Camp preseason All-Americans today:

☘️ Leonard Moore (first-team DB)
☘️ Anthonie Knapp (first-team OL)
☘️ Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa (second-team LB)

Knapp is the interesting one. The Irish are extremely high on him. https://t.co/SdzzCaUu0N

Six reps of 425 pounds on the squat rack for Drayk Bowen. That hip looks healthy after offseason surgery.

Bowen returns as a captain and a force on Notre Dame’s 2026 defense. (via @NDFootball)

I’m here at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, where Notre Dame track athlete Sophie Novak is gunning for her first national championship in the 3000-meter steeplechase.

Will have updates for @BGInews.
