Notre Dame is up to 5-2 this season after a convincing win over USC on Saturday, Oct. 18. Not only is the team’s play garnering national attention, but its leader, Marcus Freeman, has been a popular name in the coaching carousel. With big-name programs desperate enough for coaching excellence to warrant more-than $50 million buyouts, Freeman’s name regularly appears in conversations for other top jobs after a national championship appearance and consecutive successful recruiting cycles at Notre Dame. Pete Bevacqua and Notre Dame need to do any and everything possible to keep Marcus Freeman. Where do they start?

The rivalry between the Trojans and the Irish is one of the most intense and storied in all of college football.

In the win over USC, Notre Dame completely dominated the running game. Success in this area of the game often relies on the ability of a team’s offensive line. As head coach Marcus Freeman said after the game, “You're not rushing for those types of yards unless you got O-linemen blocking.”

Every student at Notre Dame, regardless of their intellectual pursuits or career intent, will complete the Core Curriculum — a range of courses rooted in the University’s Catholic liberal arts education. Curricula at Saint Mary’s and Holy Cross College require students to take a similarly broad array of classes for the same purpose. But in the age of generative artificial intelligence tools, this approach is in serious jeopardy, unless the University acts now to protect it.

The play set up a short rushing touchdown for running back Jeremiyah Love.
