The spring season at Notre Dame is in full flow as the countdown to the 2023 Blue & Gold game on April 22 continues. Even though there isn’t a tonne of film available from practises, there are a few aspects that stand out immediately.
The offence seems more energising and competent. Irish fans were treated to a rare treat when they saw three different quarterbacks—Hartman, Buchner, and Minchey—spread the ball over the field and target both seasoned players and rookies on the move. The combination of a potent passing attack with what is expected to be a strong ground game has opened up new opportunities for everyone involved.
Quarterback Sam Hartman
Hartman and Notre Dame both benefit from his arrival on the Irish squad. The Fighting Irish gain from having a sixth-year player with proven experience and skill. He brings immediate stability to a role that has been lacking it for some time. The offensive potential improved dramatically once he was brought in.
Hartman, hoping to improve his status for the NFL draught, will get to spend a year playing in an offence that is more like the pros’ than the one he ran at Wake Forest. At Notre Dame, he’ll have the added benefit of competing with a lot more undeveloped talent than he had back home. It seems like we’re in for a great year.
Chris Tyree, No. 2 WR
Chris Tyree’s switch to slot wide receiver makes perfect sense, given the depth and talent of the team’s running back corps. The offence as a whole and Tyreek Hill specifically will benefit from this set up.
Tyree can now focus on what he does best while the rest of the RBs benefit from a more even distribution of carries. Floating in space with the ball In 2023, Notre Dame may have found in Tyre a lethal and covert weapon.
Three, Mitchell Evans, at TE
It hurts badly to say goodbye to Michael Mayer. He could always be counted on to come through in a pinch, since the Notre Dame offence had few other options. Where do we go from here? Could Mitchell Evans be the one?
The fact that Gerad Parker used to be in charge of the team’s offence shows that he likes tight ends.Evans showed promise last season, and his tall, imposing stature makes him a potent red-zone threat. The Irish have an improved quarterback dynamic and a very skilled collection of running backs.
Audric Estime, RB 4.
Physically, Audric Estime excels in many ways. However, I think his outlook is his greatest strength. His style of dishing out hits rather than receiving them brings back fond memories of the “Bus” for many Irish listeners. Now that he has toned up, he will be quite active.
The fact that defences will be unable to sell out at the line of scrimmage this year because of the threat of the Irish passing offence will help him gain yards on the ground. This revised, more well-rounded attacking strategy will greatly help Audric by creating more space for him to run.
WR-ALL
I’m not attempting to avoid responsibility here. I mean this seriously. I think the wide receivers will be the positional unit that improves the most from last year to this.
