Notre Dame football: Updated Irish depth chart ahead of NC State game
Notre Dame sits 2-0 on the young 2023 college football season but the difficulty level is about to take a step up. Navy and Tennessee State are in the past and now a trip to North Carolina State awaits Notre Dame.
It’s a place Notre Dame has only played once before – a 2016 trip that was played in the middle of a literal hurricane. That was also the day Brian Kelly decided throwing 31 times would be a good idea, but that’s another story for another day.
NC State has been a solid program for a while now under head coach Dave Doeren. The Wolfpack are 1-0 on the year after a 24-10 win at UConn this weekend.
Notre Dame will look to go to 3-0 on Saturday in Raleigh. Here’s the newly released Notre Dame depth chart for the game which features some slight changes from a week ago.
