TikTok account compares Notre Dame to San Francisco 49ers

Is this a fair comparison?

Say what you will about TikTok, but some accounts manage to come up with some creative sports content now and then. One of them is Red Shirt Sports, and they decided to compare NFL teams with a prominent college football program.

We’ll spare you the actual posts and obnoxious music that goes with them, but Twitter account CFB Home took screenshots of some of the comparisons. Naturally, Notre Dame made the cut and drew the San Francisco 49ers. As the comparison goes, both teams dominated in the 20th century but don’t have any recent hardware to show for still being good. They do possess great run games though.

We can’t say of this is inaccurate as the 21st century Irish have paled in comparison to the 20th century Irish. We also know how much the Irish rely on the running game, although steps are being taken to ensure that the offense is more balanced in 2023 and beyond. Sometimes, we have to see our team for what it really is.
