College football: Kickoff time set for Notre Dame-Navy in Ireland

Kickoff time is set for Notre Dame’s opener in Ireland this fall and if you’re going — remember to pace yourself!

As we are 95 days from the 2023 college football season kicking off, we now have a start time for Notre Dame’s opener against Navy in Ireland. The game will kick off at 2:30 p.m. ET, which means it will be a 7:30 p.m. start in Dublin on Aug. 26
When Notre Dame last played in Ireland, 2012, that game kicked off at 10 a.m. ET or 3 p.m. in Dublin.  If you’re one of the fortunate ones heading to the Emerald Isle for the game this year just be mindful to pace yourself on that Saturday.
This will be the third time Notre Dame has played in Ireland. Each meeting has come against Navy.  The Irish beat the Midshipmen 52-27 in 1996 and 50-10 in 2012.  This is the first time Notre Dame will be designated the home team of those three games.
Start the countdown and enjoy some of the photos from the last time Notre Dame started a season in Dublin below.

Notre Dame adds Ohio State defensive end from transfer portal

It doesn’t solve the problems on the defensive line but its a step in the right direction…

It hasn’t been a week to remember for Notre Dame in the transfer portal, but it received good news on Friday.  Former Ohio State defensive end Javonte Jean-Baptiste, who played parts of five seasons with the Buckeyes, announced his intention to transfer to Notre Dame for the 2023 season.

Jean-Baptiste was a rotational defensive end for the Buckeyes this past season. He recorded 19 tackles, four sacks and 4.5 tackles for a loss.

Notre Dame is in a desperate need of bodies for the defensive front after suffering significant losses this offseason. All-American defensive end Isaiah Foskey, the program’s all-time sacks leader, is off to the NFL. Defensive tackle Jayson Ademilola and defensive end Justin Ademilola are headed there as well.

Where Jean-Baptiste ends up playing most of the time remains to be seen, but after some misses on the defensive line in the transfer portal so far this off-season by Notre Dame, this addition certainly helps the depth.
