Final Thoughts About Notre Dame’s Win Over Wisconsin With Luke Smith

Author: Locked On Podcast Network, Tyler Wojciak September 9, 2026 Duration: 43:37
Notre Dame football opened the 2026 season with a 41-13 win over Wisconsin at Lambeau Field, but a closer look at CJ Carr, the offensive line, Notre Dame’s defense, the running backs and several key position battles reveals much more about the Fighting Irish than the final score. Locked On Irish host Tyler Wojciak is joined by Luke Smith to start with their boots-on-the-ground report from Green Bay before breaking down three things they liked from Notre Dame’s season opener, including Carr’s command of the offense, Anthonie Knapp’s performance and the physicality of the Irish defense, followed by three things they didn’t like, including Notre Dame’s rotations along the offensive and defensive lines, the lack of production from several wide receivers and the injuries to Brauntae Johnson and Jason Onye.

The conversation is fueled by genuine passion and a desire to go deeper than the headlines, creating a space for dedicated fans who crave substantive talk.
