Even though it feels like the Notre Dame football team ended the 2018 campaign yesterday, the 2019 Notre Dame football season is right around the corner. The first true sign of an opening day on the horizon is the yearly Blue and Gold game which will be played this coming Saturday.
The game offers fans the first glimpse of what the new Irish squad might look like after saying goodbye to those who have graduated or declared for the draft. The Blue and Gold game is also an opportunity to take a better look at various positions within the confines of the Kelly’s system, something not easy to asses in any holistic way through practice clips.
