ESPN College Football Insider Paul Finebaum praised Notre Dame Head Football Coach Marcus Freeman and his team on Thursday.

Notre Dame has completed its men's basketball non-conference schedule for the 2025-26 season and has now officially announced who they will face.

Paul Finebaum isn't worried about the potential question marks surrounding Notre Dame, and Marcus Freeman is the major factor.

I said that last year before playing Notre Dame and everybody thought I was slighting Notre Dame. I've been saying that for 10 years. If I didn't say it in that moment when I was asked the question, I'd be a hypocrite.

Notre Dame landed a pair of elite tight end recruits when the program received commitments from Ian Premer and Preston Fryzel, two key offensive components in its Class of 2026.

Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti had a smirk on his face when he posed the question to reporters at Big Ten Media Days on Tuesday, July 22. He took a brief stroll down memory lane while speaking to reporters about his team's 27-17 loss to Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff.

What Notre Dame has been doing in the secondary in recent years is nothing short of remarkable. Mike Mickens has developed into one of the very best secondary coaches in college football, both for cornerbacks and now safeties.
