The Triple Option: Notre Dame’s enemies and its recruiting effort

Welcome back to the Triple Option for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. It was an incredibly emotional and powerful weekend across the country, which only makes things like college football seem small and unimportant. Still, as I mentioned on the OFD Podcast, we use this as an outlet to help from going insane with all of our feelings.

Here we go.

IN DOUBT

Not long after we published a story that highlighted Tim O’Malley’s quote from the Irish Illustrated Podcast about a move from Lambeau File to Notre Dame Stadium for the game against the Wisconsin Badgers, multiple outlets reached out to Wisconsin to see if they had anything to say about the matter.

KEEPING UP WITH THE ENEMY

People live and die by the Phil Steele magazine. I used to, but had an enlightenment several years ago. Still, there is a void of previews out there because of the coronavirus pandemic. I scrolled through College Football News to see what they had to say about Notre Dame’s opponents and found eight previews:

• Wisconsin
• Navy
• Southern Cal
• Wake Forest
• Stanford
• Duke
• Louisville
• Georgia Tech

A TOP RECRUITING TARGET

Notre Dame is making Georgia safety Kaleb Edwards a top recruiting target. Find out more from Carter Karels about why that’s the case, and how Notre Dame is recruiting him. This is a guy that I am personally very high on, and Greg Flamaang from UHND has already talked about with a lot of glowing words. I know a lot of people are concerned about the class and running back recruiting — but safeties are always a huge need.

DO YOU HAVE RECRUITING QUESTIONS?

While we certainly do our best here to cover Notre Dame football recruiting — this isn’t our full-time gig (so to speak). If you have some burning questions that only an insider might be able to answer, check out BGI’s Mike Singer on Reddit on Wednesday.
