Notre Dame’s Path Forward Is Narrow But Clear

Just because of recent departures in the transfer portal doesn’t mean Notre Dame can’t still do big things under Marcus Freeman.

Now that the initial “shock” phase of the news that Notre Dame quarterback [autotag]Tyler Buchner[/autotag] and others have decided to take their talents to locations outside South Bend is starting to subside, it’s time to talk about what comes next. It’s not an easy discussion, not a comfortable one, but I think the path just became clearer for Notre Dame even amidst some uncertainty.

There are layers to this dynamic. Short-term outlooks and big-picture ones. Risks & rewards. Pluses and minuses. Make no doubt about it one thing is clear.

Let’s take a look at Notre Dame’s new path to success.
