@EHansenND
and I share our top three takeaways from
#NotreDame
's first three practices, the most interesting things we heard from Mike Denbrock and Al Golden and play a game of Hot or Not with predictions for the 2024 season.
The Mickey family shared with
@insideNDsports
tonight that Nilka Mickey is in hospice care and she's chosen to end chemotherapy treatments.
Grateful they took the time to share that with us. Incredible for Jaden Mickey's big moment to come today.

cornerback Jaden Mickey's pick-6 had a bigger purpose than football.
"I just was picturing my mom and my dad in the living room yelling. I said, ‘My mom gotta see this.’ I'm happy it happened today."

Story:
Javontae Jean-Baptiste has been part of Notre Dame's football program for just one year, but he wanted to make sure he played one more game for the Irish in the Sun Bowl.
@insideNDsports
story:
Have to say, Ian Book had no reason to be confident on that last drive. Yet he somehow found a way to score the go-ahead touchdown. He's a flawed quarterback, but he deserves some respect for sticking with it.

#NotreDame
is simultaneously putting together some of the best recruiting classes in the country while indirectly trolling Michigan. I can't remember a time when Irish fans were having this much fun with recruiting.
Anyone else bothered that the NBC broadcast is using yellow for the down and distance when Michigan has the ball? I keep thinking there's a flag.
#NDInsider
I don't know what Al Golden did in the second half or how he did it without Benjamin Morrison, but that was quite the second half turnaround for the
#NotreDame
defense.

Shrewsberry: "I don't watch the NFL at all. I love college football. But I grew up a Notre Dame football fan. You don't know how many games Saturday afternoon I sat on the couch and turned it to NBC to watch it."
#NotreDame
sophomore LB Nolan Ziegler, who took time away from the team to deal with personal issues including his mental health, is seeing his first game action of the season tonight. He's contributing for the Irish special teams.

Former
#NotreDame
TEs have scored four touchdowns in a little more than an hour today in the NFL: Brock Wright (2), Tommy Tremble (1) and Cole Kmet (1).
Never thought I’d cover Notre Dame football long enough to see it become the plucky underdog story that a sport rallies behind.
But the last 24 hours have been a hell of a drug.
Ed Orgeron said he's just visiting
#NotreDame
's campus with his sons. He wanted to see Marcus Freeman, who he interviewed at LSU, and the staff. He'll be here all week. Orgeron said he isn't sure when he'll get back into coaching, but he's enjoying the year off.
Former four-star DT Darnell Ewell, who was medically disqualified after not playing in two seasons for the Irish, graduated from
#NotreDame
today with a Bachelor of Arts from the College of Arts and Letters.

RB Devyn Ford (22) is bringing bad intentions as a lead blocker. Buckle your chinstrap if you're a linebacker against this look.

film analysis on the Irish running game:
Josh Lugg announced on Instagram that he'll be back for ND. In Nov., he joked he and Blake Fisher could play rock, paper, scissors for the right to play RT next season.
"If anything, my
#NotreDame
career has been defined as whatever the coaches need me to play, I’ll go play it."
Khalid Kareem on the disappointment of tonight: "This one stings a little bit. It’s only one loss. It doesn’t define our season. The next opponents who we have coming up this season, best of luck to you, because we’re coming.”
#NDInsider
One of my favorite play calls from Chip Long on Saturday was this pass to Tony Jones Jr. on third-and-16. Essentially a downfield screen with Mack and Finke blocking.

“Tobias Merriweather. He's going to be a super good receiver for

This run is absolutely ridiculous. I will be sending it to everyone who asks me about how Kyren Williams' draft stock is being impacted by this season.

Drue Tranquill is back on the sidelines with a boot on his right leg. That would seem to eliminate a knee injury. I'm not a doctor, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.

You can try to cut corners on coaching pay. You can be squeamish about NIL.
But being both?
Well, it's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for them.
UNC coach Mack Brown on Notre Dame QB Ian Book: “I dont know if he’s in the Heisman race, but he should be. He was as good tonight as anyone I’ve ever seen.”
After an undefeated regular season in the ACC, I'm starting to think
#NotreDame
should join a new conference every year and just rotate through the entire Power 5.
#NDInsider
I'm still stunned that two plays into a clock-killing drive ND pulled Audric Estimé after an 11-yard gain and opted for two-back shotgun with Devyn Ford and Jeremiyah Love. A five-yard loss and broken play ensued.

Maybe they'll be Mackey Award finalists next year.
Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa stripped Carter Bradley to secure

Notre Dame QB commit Deuce Knight remains locked in with the Irish but Ole Miss, Mississippi State and others are not giving up.
Much more from Knight here:
Marcus Freeman dapped up Cincinnati CB Ahmad Gardner on his way to the stage at the NFL Draft. Freeman was Gardner's defensive coordinator before coming to

I've lost a couple hundred followers in the last month.
It could be a coincidence.
But if they left because I've been sharing local and national coverage of racial injustice, they shouldn't come back. I don't plan on stopping any time soon.

RB Kyren Williams is one of five finalists for the Paul Hornung Award, which recognizes the most versatile player in college football. Other finalists: Michigan's Blake Corum, Ball State's Justin Hall, Houston's Marcus Jones and Michigan State's Jayden Reed.
