If anything, Steve Ishmael is curious about what’ll pan out come Saturday.
Notre Dame’s defense, which Ishmael has been studying all week, could be exactly the same as the film from the first four games of the season or drastically different. The Fighting Irish’s new defensive coordinator could turn out to be “a total expert” or not at all.
“It’s going to be really interesting,” the Syracuse wide receiver said. “I’m curious to see the defense.”
If Notre Dame is a “wounded mama bear,” like Orange (2-2, 0-1 Atlantic Coast) head coach Dino Babers compared the team to on Monday, then its defense is its biggest gash.
