In the five games since the home loss against Texas A&M, the Notre Dame defense has been flying around the field for the most part. This past week, we saw them hold the top offense in the country to a season-low 24 points. Late last month, the Irish defense traveled down to Arkansas and held the Razorbacks' offense to just 13 points, an offense that has scored at least 31 in every other game.

Coming into this game, there were a lot of questions surrounding this Notre Dame defense, and rightfully so after they went from one of...

The bright side of the Irish season thus far, especially last week, is how the offense has looked under new starting QB CJ Carr. The young gunslinger has improved each week, and the offense as a whole has benefited. Carr and the Irish could be in store for another big day against an Arkansas defense that has had lapses through four games.

Notre Dame finally notched their first win of the 2025 season, but it did not come without some moments of "here we go again" defensively. The Irish defense gave up 30 points to an improved Purdue Boilermakers team, and will now have to turn their attention to an unfamiliar foe when they travel to Fayetteville to take on the Arkansas Razorbacks.

The No. 24 Notre Dame Fighting Irish have put themselves in a rough position for playoff contention by starting 0-2 but are looking to get their first win of the year against their in-state rival.

When Notre Dame announced the hiring of Chris Ash, many Irish fans were underwhelmed; however, the trust Marcus Freeman earned during last season’s CFP run was enough to overlook the move at the time.

Last season, the Irish and Hurricanes defenses had drastically different impacts on their seasons. Notre Dame consistently called upon the defense to make big, clutch plays, which ultimately landed them in the CFP Championship. For Miami, their defense allowed 31 or more points in six games, including in the regular season finale loss at Syracuse, which cost the 'Canes a chance to compete in the CFP. We preview each team team's defense here.

For proponents of the narrative that Notre Dame is unable to go head-to-head with the Georgia and Alabama's of the world when it comes to recruiting defensive players, it has been a rough couple of weeks. With the recent commitments of Ewetade and Dunham, we want to zero in on what fans can expect from the pair of defenders and why this is such a major deal.

As spring practice has officially started for Notre Dame, here are the impressions that have been made from the early enrollees on defense.
