Notre Dame football is finally back, and five key storylines surrounding CJ Carr, the Fighting Irish offensive line, wide receivers and defense will be worth watching when Notre Dame faces Wisconsin at Lambeau Field in the 2026 season opener. Locked On Irish host Tyler Wojciak begins with the offensive line and the uncertainty at right guard before breaking down how Carr handles a defense designed to limit the deep ball, Christian Gray’s first game at nickel, whether Armel Mukam can validate his breakout offseason and whether Jordan Faison, Jaden Greathouse, Mylan Graham and Micah Gilbert are ready to emerge as difference-makers in the passing game. Then, after 273 days of waiting since Notre Dame was left out of the College Football Playoff, Tyler puts a bow on the longest offseason in program history and gets ready for kickoff against the Badgers.   (0:00) - Intro (0:59) - 5 Things to Watch vs. Wisconsin (9:40) - Farewell to the Offseason   Follow Tyler on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TylerWojciak Follow Locked On Irish on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LockedOnIrish Follow Locked On Irish on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lockedonirishpod/?hl=en Subscribe to Locked on Irish on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC749D_LgykIE8WLu7W4UQlQ   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!   KALSHIFor a limited time, Download the Kalshi app and use code [LOCKEDON] to get $10 when you trade $10.    SupplyHouseVisit https://SupplyHouse.com/TM to learn more about becoming a Trade Master.  Use promo code S H Five College for five percent off your first order.

Notre Dame football officially opens fall camp, and the next few weeks will determine whether the Irish have the playmakers, offensive line, defensive front, and depth needed to compete for a College Football Playoff berth in 2026.

Notre Dame football fans heard from new defensive line coach Charlie Partridge and seven transfer portal additions, including Keon Keeley, Francis Brewu, Tionne Gray, Mylan Graham, Quincy Porter, Jayden Sanders and Spencer Porath, and their comments revealed major insight into the Irish defensive identity, culture fit, development plan and the growing belief in quarterback CJ Carr. Tyler Wojciak reacts to every introductory press conference, breaking down Partridge’s praise for Chris Ash, Keeley’s emotional return from Alabama, what the Ohio State receivers revealed about their development goals, and why this portal class feels intentional rather than flashy as Notre Dame continues building toward the 2026 season.   (0:00) - Intro (2:03) - Partridge, Brewu, Gray (12:45) - Keeley, Graham, Porter (25:25) - Sanders & Porath   Follow Tyler on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TylerWojciak Follow Locked On Irish on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LockedOnIrish Follow Locked On Irish on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lockedonirishpod/?hl=en Subscribe to Locked on Irish on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC749D_LgykIE8WLu7W4UQlQ   Everydayer Club   If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Notre Dame football faces six massive questions that will define the 2026 season, including CJ Carr’s development, the search for a go-to playmaker, offensive line health, defensive line dominance, slow starts under Marcus Freeman, and whether the Irish can sustain recruiting momentum. In today’s episode of Locked On Irish, host Tyler Wojciak breaks down each of those questions in detail, explains why they matter for Notre Dame’s ceiling this season, and analyzes how the answers could shape the future of the program. Tyler also looks at the pressure on CJ Carr to elevate the offense, the importance of a faster start in September, and why this offseason is so critical for Notre Dame on the recruiting trail.   (0:00) - Intro (1:50) - Can CJ Carr Be Great?

Notre Dame’s season may be over, but the national championship game provided major clues about where the Irish stand in the race for a title. Tyler Wojciak breaks down what the CFP title game revealed about championship-caliber teams, how Notre Dame compares, and whether the Irish are truly built to win it all in 2026. Tyler also reacts to Marcus Freeman’s College GameDay appearance and uses data-driven insights from Irish Sports Daily’s Jamie Uyeyama to analyze what elite teams consistently have in common — and where Notre Dame stacks up. The episode wraps with a look back at the 2025 season, why it was both encouraging and frustrating, and why the road to 2026 is now clearly defined for the Irish.   (0:00) - Intro (1:34) - Championship Takeaways (11:32) - Win a Title in 2026?
