Hi Mike. By now you probably have seen the border will reopen to fully vaxed individuals in early November, so you'll probably have a chance to see either the Navy game or the Georgia Tech game in person at Notre Dame Stadium if that appeals to you. ... To your question. I felt like that might be the case in the Cincinnati game. Not sure about the others. The four players on defense that log a lot of snaps (virtually all in most games) are S Kyle Hamilton, LB JD Bertrand, and the two CBs -- Clarence Lewis and Cam Hart. TaRiq Bracy played a lot at corner in the Va Tech game, but ND played three corners a lot of that game. The D-Line rotation is deeper and more consistent as are the other linebacker timeshares (more).

Eric, I thought I saw more fatigue than usual from the defense at the end of the last few games. I didn't notice as many players subbing in, possibly for different packages and to give guys a blow. I'm not at the stadium so I'm limited in what I can see. Is there anything to this? Is it an injury problem? Is Freeman shortening the bench? Hoping we Canadians can get to some late games this season once the border is opened.
