Is Notre Dame National Championship material?

I'm not sure, I will have to think about it. I'll say this: ND has momentum on its side. How long will last? Who knows, it can come to an end as early as Saturday.

Thank you for this well thought out post.

I feel good about it.

Depth is crazy. 2 4-star QB's at the ready.
Stout defense (secondary will figure it out, front 7 are nasty)
Fuller, Stanley and, if he keeps it up, Procise likely 1st and 2nd round picks.
Dominant O-line.
Speeeeeeeeeeed.

That is all.

NC material?
Running game? Double check
O-line? check
Elite speed at skill positions? Check
QB play ..TBD

Defense
Linebackers? check
D-line? check...although a straight up pass rush will be paramount going forward.
Secondary? TBD

Special teams
Return game? Check
Kicking game? TBD

The x factor
A contender needs one legit highlight reel type player. Check
We have that ...not one, two but three.
Jaylon, CJ, Fuller
Those are elite players in all the country. Good teams would cherish one of those types of players. We have 3 to date and possibly adding Sanders to make 4.
Add in the uglies and potentially there is an additional 3-5 legit future NFL starters.

no, probably not yet; but ND is not playing the National Champion Sat; nor is the 2015 NC on the ND schedule '15

Ask that question on Sunday. If the answer is yes, then you can ask it again on Sunday 10/18. If the answer is still yes, then we are going to Palo Alto 11-0.

If we win every game.

They are as talented as any team in the nation, as well coached as any team in the nation and will not see an arena that will intimidate them or a team that will impose any defense they should not overcome should they play to their potential. Yes, they have as good as chance as anyone to win the 2015 NC and have a schedule where their successes will be noted.

Talk to me after the USC game. By then, Clemson, that dad burn Navy option, and USC will be in the rear view mirror and we all will have a plenty good picture on how far this team can go. As of now, injuries and the play of the Secondary raises concern IMHO.
