Because they wanted to give us something to taco ’bout the whole week.

Now that all of my children are blind from eyeballs rolling out of their heads… lets get to the Notre Dame Football triple option. HOW GOOD WILL NOTRE DAME BE? Advanced stats say Notre Dame is going to be really good this season.

People that know ball say Notre Dame is going to be really good this season. We know the schedule is very manageable (to say the least) but how good is this 2026 Notre Dame Football team? GRAY NICKEL If you think about it… silver is kind of gray, so it makes sense that Christian Gray is moving to Nickel — right?

This just gives me another chance to say I was wrong about my February depth chart predictions. Without getting into all of the reasons why, I felt like Christian Gray would still be at the corner opposite of Leonard Moore. And who knows — maybe that will still be the case (maybe) as Tyler Horka writes: He’s still getting some reps at outside corner, and he could very well end up playing more there than he does at nickel — there is so much time between now and the season opener to figure it out and get positions and pecking orders sorted — but for the time being, it’s feeling more and more like he’s Christian Gray the nickel.
