Players to watch, game predictions as Notre Dame football faces Rice

Comments

1. Iris: neither of these teams is even a blip on my radar
2. Lena: not sure what's more surprising, the fact that they're finally playing games or the fact that 2026 is a home debut
3. Omar Nilsson: why are they suddenly hyping up games for the 2026 season, that's barely even relevant right now
4. Solar Pulse: nice to see some real games finally underway now
5. Danelarsen: finally some football that actually matters is back on. I'm curious to see if they've been working on any new plays since their last game
6. Luna: notre dame needs to focus on the big games coming up if they want to keep that top 4 spot
7. Silent Corvid: can't help but think this Rice team is flying under the radar after that surprising win last weekend against a pretty tough opponent. What kind of adjustments will Brian Kelly make for this one
