## Resource

Notre Dame enters the 2026 college football season with legitimate national championship expectations, CJ Carr back at quarterback and Marcus Freeman leading one of the deepest and most talented rosters in the country. Tyler Wojciak is joined by former Notre Dame quarterback and FOX college football analyst Brady Quinn to discuss why the expectations surrounding the Fighting Irish have reached another level, what makes Carr special and how he can take another step in Year 2, how Mike Denbrock’s offense could evolve without Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price, the versatility of Notre Dame’s wide receivers, Freeman’s growth as a head coach, what separates true College Football Playoff and national championship contenders, and whether Notre Dame has done everything necessary to compete at the highest level of college football.
