Christian Gray's Draft Stock in Question | Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football News
Christian Gray’s switch to nickelback is proving tougher than expected, with his first game sparking concerns from Pro Football Focus.

While he showed promise last year and in 2024 with strong stats and interceptions, this dip could impact his draft stock. Scouts are watching closely to see if he can rebound and regain momentum as the season unfolds.

Notre Dame Ready to Dominate Rice | Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football News
Notre Dame, riding high after a dominant win over Wisconsin, aims to make a statement this season—especially after being overlooked last year. Facing Rice, a disciplined team with a unique rushing attack that racked up nearly 500 yards and 39 minutes of possession in their opener, Notre Dame’s defense is primed to counter. With a history of five straight wins against Rice—including a 48-17 blowout in 2014—the Irish have the edge.

Notre Dame Dominates, Doubters Remain | Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football News
Notre Dame crushed Wisconsin 41-13 in a statement win, despite early-season skepticism—thanks to a 28-point margin and a 2.5-point spread, they’re proving doubters wrong.

Still, the AP Top 25 rewarded their dominance, bumping them to No. 3 after Oregon’s stumble.
