Green as can be QB vs a seasoned very good QB can close the gap6 Thoughts on a Thursday
Thoughts on the difference in talent between Notre Dame and Georgia since they played in 2017, on ND's prospects for next year's NFL Draft, and moreirishsportsdaily.com
The question I have is how many draft picks will ND have on this current 2023 team and was it worth losing Tyler Buchner for the 1 year wonder or not. Time will tell, but without 20-25 draft picks on the team, I don’t think there’s a chance in hades we beat Georgia.
We don’t have Caleb Williams and he’s not coming to ND. We need to get back to 2019 talent + the QB. We had a huge talent drop. That’s why we lost to Cincy.
Agree. The freshman group is very good. I love CJ but I’m not convinced yet that he’s the level of talent to do it like Lawrence did for Clemson. Get 20+ draft picks and he may not need to be Trever Lawrence. Just be top 10 QB and we may have a shot with classes we are stacking. I wish 2023 Hartman was here in 2018.
Comparisons to Trevor Lawrence are an exercise in futility. ND can focus on quarterbacks with the measurables who can maximize the production of both receivers and running backs. That is what has been lacking....We have been recruiting the tallest midget for so long....its hard to think outside the box...at a level the elites operate.
He'll never be a talent like Trevor or Cam and do it that way. But can he be a Jameis or Deshaun that also did it without the ridiculous talent. Still very good talent you need but very good talent plus very good QB and you got a shot
I don't think we need 5 stars at corner or OT. We need to be very good everywhere regardless of stars and we need an elite QB. Alt was a 3 star and I'm not trading him for anyone. Morrison was a 4 star and about the same with him.
The last two times I have watched Notre Dame play Georgia, there was not a lot that separated the 2 teams.
This. The rest is noise. Golson says we need an elite QB. That’s the key. Always the key
Nothing. Not interested in debating whether or not ND has to have an elite QB to beat Georgia. I have never thought it is absolutely necessary, and you do. No biggy.

ND will never be in the league of elite teams for talent. Fans need to chill. There’s a reason why so many ND coaches have left. They can’t win here.
Those games were a long time ago and ND lost both. UGA was just starting to build its dominance and their speed still won out.
He didn’t read the article obviously. The article explains why we matched up with Georgia then and why we do not now. But we all know that clown can’t read.
False. Do you know how many players Georgia was putting in the league before those games? One of those teams had Bama dead to rights in the championship game.
We will? Why won’t USC win it all then? Ohio State didn’t win it all with Stroud.
Bama didn’t either. In fact, the team with the worst QB won. The average player at Bama is better than ND by far. So if Young was at ND, we still wouldn’t win. Recruiting has to improve substantially including at QB. Unless Hartman is far better than both Stroud and Young, we have about a 0% chance. Unless CJ is better than both our chances won’t put us into the likely to win it category anytime in the forseable future. If Carr is a Heisman contender and we recruit every other position near Ohio State level, we have a legit chance. Otherwise it’ll take a Trever Lawrence. Right now we are building a nice future playoff contender but missing all of Keeley, Bowen, Moore, Scott, Rushing, Wingo won’t get it done. It has to change this cycle with Scott and Rushing. Otherwise temper expectations as fans.
We are better than usc n OSu. How did we hang with usc n OSu with drew freakin Pyne ? We did cause we have a solid team. How did we hang with georgia? Same reason.
OSU was within a missed last second FG last year when they lost 41-40 in the Playoffs against Georgia

Then how did ND play in three (3) National Championship playoffs in the last decade.
Yes, but remember they have a QB that is 10x’s better than Pyne and Buchner and recruit at a much higher level. My point was that even if you get all of that you’re still not guaranteed anything. They got whooped by Michigan back to back years and never won a title. You certainly can’t say ND has way better coaching that OSU, so it’s not a coaching issue. Even if you get a Caleb Williams, you might lose to Utah twice.
Ski, I would love to agree with this, but I don’t. I think the OL is a concern right now. Alt and Fisher should be elite this year, but questions abound in between our two tackles. Zeke at center should Be solid, but I Don’t think he’s ever going to be upper tier. Schrauth is supposed to have a high floor and high upside, but we hear about his lack of experience and rookie mistakes. If Kristofic wins the starting RG battle, then we have another solid experienced starter, but far from elite. I’d be a lot more optimistic if Rocco was to beat Kristofic out, or if Jagusah was to force his way into the starting lineup.
We need to hit on some Keeleys and Scott’s. All there is to it. Otherwise we are doing what we need to do to make 2025, 2026 a contender. Keep missing on those and forget it. Freeman messed up keeping Al Washington. He can’t coach well enough and he’s not recruiting elite enough talent to beat Georgia.
Harbie also beat OSU convincingly the last 2 years . The same Michigan that got boat raced by UGA and lost to TCU
Rushing and Scott would be home run commits, and Washington is liked by both. Last year, I would have agreed with you about Washington. This year, I don’t. It sounds Like the defensive line is developing nicely, and several young guys are developing as reliable rotation guys. If this proves correct, then Washington deserves credit. I like the three commits we have for 24 for the DL, but they’re not going to take us to the next level. A commitment from either Scott or Rushing would, on paper at least. So, for the most part, I think the jury is still out on whether Washington was a good or bad hire.
No excuse for oline dline lbs and wrs to be significantly improved this year, anything but that should result in a that coach not being with nd for 24
Stuckeys not going anywhere unless it's on his terms.
