Lindy's College Football preview magazine ranks Notre Dame football inside its top-10
Lindy's College Football preview magazine ranks Notre Dame football inside its top-10 Lindy's College Football magazine ranks Notre Dame No. 6 but projects the Irish to miss the College Football Playoff. Notre Dame will be favored in every one of its games this upcoming football season according to DraftKings Sportsbook, but one publication does not have the Fighting Irish in its College Football Playoff projections. Following a season in which the Irish set a program record for wins on their way to the national championship game, Lindy's Sports released its preseason college football preview magazine and ranked the Irish No. 6 nationally. Certainly a solid ranking, and the same spot Athlon Sports slotted the Irish in its preseason magazine, but Lindy's has Ohio State, LSU, Oregon, Alabama, Georgia, Miami and SMU earning at-large CFP bids and not Notre Dame. From the magazine: "We'll know early if Notre Dame's playoff expectation is warranted when the Irish play Miami, Texas A&M and Arkansas in the first four weeks. With only six players drafted, Notre Dame returns the wealth of a squad that was a few plays away from winning it all." - Lindy's Sports The Notre Dame defensive line and linebacker corps failed to make the Top 10 in Lindy's unit rankings, which is quite debatable. The magazine is also concerned about the quarterback situation, where either redshirt freshman CJ Carr or redshirt sophomore Kenny Minchey will be taking the first snap in the season opener at Miami Labor Day weekend. Despite the playoff snub from Lindy's, though, it's clear that national college football observers are bullish on the Irish to remain a national contender in 2025 and beyond.

So, it's a 3-point shot but the distance of the shot is shorter because of where he lets it go.

Notre Dame has flipped the script at the Blue-Gold game
Notre Dame has flipped the script at the Blue-Gold game Kenny Minchey flips out, so to speak, after running touchdown Notre Dame struggled to find the end zone early in the Blue-Gold game, but it's starting to get untracked as the afternoon wears on. Penalties and sacks stalled early drives on the cusp of the red zone, but after CJ Carr found Elijah Burress for a short touchdown pass, Kenny Minchey, who is battling Carr and Steve Angeli for the starting quarterback job, used his legs for a touchdown, which he punctuated with a perfectly executed back flip. Minchey is probably the best running quarterback of the three. The offense (Team Blue) has opened up a big lead over the defense (Team Gold). It's 61-31 as of this writing, following another Irish touchdown.
