Now that the Notre Dame Fighting Irish only have 1⁄4 of the season left, I think it’s a safe time to evaluate some of things we’ve seen this season. With the Navy Midshipmen next up on the schedule, my mind bends toward the word, “underrated.”

While Bauer’s name was brought up here and there in the spring and summer, he was never a big part of what the linebacker rotation ended up being for the Irish.
