## Resource

Notre Dame’s 2026 schedule may look easy on paper, but don’t be fooled—while most opponents feature average quarterbacks, a few could seriously test the Irish defense. From Rice’s running-focused Jacurri Brown to Purdue’s developing Ryan Browne, the early matchups are manageable. But watch out for Navy’s triple-option maestro Braxton Woodson, Wisconsin’s dual-threat Colton Joseph, and Syracuse’s revenge-minded Steve Angeli. Mid-tier threats like BYU’s rising Bear Bachmeier and SMU’s explosive Kevin Jennings could disrupt the game. And at the top? Darian Mensah, Miami’s deep-ball threat, is the real concern—his ability to make explosive plays could turn a game on its head. Notre Dame’s defense must be ready for the real test.
