I joined WSBT sports director Pete Byrne to share takeaways from Notre Dame football head coach Marcus Freeman's Monday press conference, how ND will recover from the loss of vyper end Boubacar Traore, how DE Joshua Burnham will be used moving forward, which other players are on the mend, how upsets across college football may help the Irish, what kind of credit ND may get for beating Navy and ND's focus ahead of Saturday's home game against Stanford.

Inside ND Sports is partnering with WSBT to provide even more coverage of the Notre Dame football season. James and Byrne will record a video every Monday following a Freeman press conference.

Noticed Price did not get back in after his fumble. Any word if he is still #2 for this week? Thanks

Riley Leonard threw his first interception since the Northern Illinois game. He responded by completing his next 12 passes as the Irish offense scored on its next three meaningful drives.

Tyler, I enjoyed the data dump article. I watch the PFF grades a lot and they have their limitations as you addressed. We expected the line with the inexperience to be an issue. The data shows that. The data supports the idea that Riley Leonard has been a magician in avoiding pressure and eluding sacks. However I was concerned at his low Average time to throw on drop backs: 2.60 seconds (T-71). The rest of the season he needs to process faster going through his progressions and find the right receiver. When in doubt he needs to be comfortable with either a check down or throwing 50:50 balls. With 50:50 balls the receivers need to win those throws at a higher % then they are currently doing.
