Final Thoughts on Notre Dame’s Win Over Michigan State With Luke Smith

Tyler Wojciak, host of Locked On Irish, is joined by Luke Smith to share their final thoughts on Notre Dame’s 27-10 win over Michigan State. They start with fan-submitted Boots on the Ground reports from South Bend and discuss the criticism surrounding Notre Dame Stadium’s in-game entertainment and night-game atmosphere. Then, Tyler and Luke break down what they liked most from the victory, including Micah Gilbert’s breakout, Nolan James Jr.’s second half, CJ Carr’s ability to elevate the offense, Boubacar Traore’s dominant performance and the continued emergence of Notre Dame’s defensive front. Finally, they examine what left them wanting more, including the conversation surrounding the running game, Notre Dame’s stubborn commitment to the run, its use of 12 personnel and tight ends, and whether the Irish left points on the field against Michigan State.
