There is a version of this offseason where the narrative around Notre Dame’s offensive line claimed the Irish return “five linemen with starting experience” rather than the version at hand of Notre Dame “needing to replace four starting linemen.” The former would have been technically accurate, and it still can be if altered to four linemen with 32 starts between them.
The moral to these differing storylines is the Irish return more experience along the offensive line than one might expect when they are sending four linemen into the NFL draft (April 29 – May 1), and no one knows the depths of that returning experience than those four linemen readying their professional aspirations.
