About this episode

The episode discusses the realities behind Notre Dame football's spring game and its implications for the team moving forward.

Notre Dame football’s 95th Blue-Gold Game offered a version of spring football that can be more illusion than reality. Blue & Gold’s Eric Hansen and Jack Soble go behind the curtain to break down what actually matters from Notre Dame’s 15 spring practices — separating signal from noise and projecting what it all means for the Irish moving forward.
