Notre Dame fans react to 2025 Major football schedule update

Irish fans are reacting to the huge scheduling news that will shape the 2025 season.

Attendees of the Always Irish Friday morning reacted to the latest news that Notre Dame will open the 2025 season in Miami against the Hurricanes. The first half of the 2025 gaming slate is now filled with challenging games. The Irish face a tough start to the season.

Callers debated whether Notre Dame should look for a QB with experience ahead of next year’s tough schedule or if it might instead be time to commit and invest in a young staff player to build with and around him. The Irish’s playoff chances in 2025 will depend largely on what happens in September, and Notre Dame must rise to that challenge.

November at Notre Dame is full of intrigue and interest

Irish fans are planning a relaxing weekend of football before Notre Dame plays again against FSU next weekend. The hope is that Notre Dame can continue to move in the right direction as playoff pressure intensifies in the final four games, starting with the Seminoles.

Irish fans are also looking forward to next Tuesday when the first CFP rankings for 2024 are released. This will be the first chance to find out exactly what the committee thinks of Notre Dame’s resume. We’ll have to figure out how valuable a Texas A&M win is and, on the other hand, how punishing a loss to NIU is and was.
