’Twas the week before kickoff, when all through the land
Irish nation was stirring, their plans were so grand.
The season would start with a trip to Dublin
Where they’d face familiar foes, the Midshipmen.
It’s the first real look at the new quarterback
Paired with Big ’Dric and that young rushing attack.
A return trip to South Bend for the home debut
Is made somewhat sour by the team coming through;
But although Tennessee State may lead some to balk
Let’s all just be grateful the game’s not on Peacock.
