As Notre Dame looks for answers at receiver, aside from fifth-year Avery Davis, the greatest question is consistency. The Irish know they have perimeter talent on the roster.

But for all those moments of hype, the Irish were reminded of a cold hard fact of college football to start 2021: They need to score.
