Pete SampsonHOST
Villamasa's back.
Pete SampsonHOST
You know, Traore and Young both were very effective today.
Pete SampsonHOST
I thought the defensive tackles played pretty well.
Pete SampsonHOST
Leonard Moore didn't have to do anything.
Pete SampsonHOST
Yeah, I mean, that set the tone for everything.
Pete SampsonHOST
I mean, as soon as...
Pete SampsonHOST
It's not like Boubacar Traore had to return that for a touchdown, but the player he hit stayed on the ground.
Pete SampsonHOST
Yes.
Sean DavisHOST
Absolutely.
Sean DavisHOST
Adon Shuler and Boubacar Traore combining the four-step fumble.
Sean DavisHOST
Traore scoops it up, takes it in for the touchdown.
Sean DavisHOST
And during this week, I was, you know, after watching the film, I really said I was more worried about them facing Navy than Rice, even though this was a form with similar offenses.
Tyler WojciakHOST
Adon Shuler set the tone for this one in the first 15 seconds when he leveled a Rice player and knocked the ball loose.
Tyler WojciakHOST
Boubacar Traore picked it up, returned it for a touchdown to put Notre Dame up 7-0 and honestly, You could have called the game right then and there.
Tyler WojciakHOST
There was no way Rice was going to come back from that point.
Tyler WojciakHOST
And honestly, that play told you everything you needed to know about how the next 59 minutes were going to go.
11 MINS LATER
Tyler WojciakHOST
They get a shutout in the home opener.
Tyler WojciakHOST
They force four turnovers in this game.
Tyler WojciakHOST
They set the tone immediately when Adon Shuler forces that fumble and then Boubacar Traore recovers it for a touchdown.
Tyler WojciakHOST
I mean, that hit by Shuler reminded me so much of the hit he had on ETN when Notre Dame was going up against Georgia in the college football playoff a couple years ago.
Jack SoblePANELIST
Number one, attack the Notre Dame edge rushers and put them in conflict.
Jack SoblePANELIST
Because we talked about how good Boubacar Traore and Bryce Young were last week, but then you look at the past games against Navy.
Jack SoblePANELIST
Bryce Young played like two snaps when Boubacar Traore was hurt in 2024.
Jack SoblePANELIST
Back in 2025, Bryce Young played 16 snaps.
Jack SoblePANELIST
Boubacar Traore was a healthy scratch.
Jack SoblePANELIST
And I think based on what Marcus Riemann told us after that game, that was just like they trusted other guys more to play Navy.
Jack SoblePANELIST
Now, Marcus Riemann said Boubacar and Bryce both had great weeks of practice.
Tim PriesterGUEST
I think I...
Tim PriesterGUEST
I underestimated the performance of Boubacar Traore just because we keep building him up preseason and he hasn't quite met those expectations.
Tim PriesterGUEST
He actually did some good things in this game and I underestimated what he actually accomplished.
Tim PriesterGUEST
Again, pass rush from Notre Dame's defensive ends, pass rush from Notre Dame's front four, that's still a question mark.
8 MINS LATER
Tim PriesterGUEST
But in order to slow this down, you remember the junior Tui Alamaka and Josh Burnham were the defensive ends against Navy last year.
Tim PriesterGUEST
Those guys are gone.
Tim PriesterGUEST
Boubacar Traore, I think we think he was a healthy scratch.
Tim PriesterGUEST
against Navy last year, and Bryce Young has had little experience against the options.
Pete MulroyHOST
Now we'll see Gray thrust into this lineup, and you put him with a Brew, an Armel Mookham, a healthy Christopher Burgess when he comes back.
Pete MulroyHOST
And then your bookends, guys like Rodney Dunham, Boubacar Traore, Bryce Young.
Pete MulroyHOST
The list goes on and on there for Ebenezer Iwatari when we start to see him more.
Pete MulroyHOST
The future of Notre Dame's back end, the secondary, is obviously very good.
Tyler WojciakGUEST
Defensively, I think they just have to expand the rotations.
Tyler WojciakGUEST
I was a little bit surprised by the fact that Boubacar Traore and Bryce Young played 44 out of a total 61 snaps in that game.
Tyler WojciakGUEST
And it's not a criticism.
Tyler WojciakGUEST
Both guys played extremely well.
Tyler WojciakHOST
Notre Dame only rotated three linebackers with Kingston Villamuasa out, and that caught me by surprise because I thought we'd see more from Matt and Framo, although Framo was out there on all the special teams.
Tyler WojciakHOST
They rotated a lot at defensive tackle, which is what we expected, but both Boubacar Traore and Bryce Young still played 44 snaps out of 61 on the edges.
Tyler WojciakHOST
Clearly, the Notre Dame coaching staff wanted to keep things tight for the season opener against a quality Big Ten opponent that they respected, so they shortened the rotations.
Tyler WojciakHOST
But against a team like Rice... they're going to want to expand those rotations much more and go deeper into the depth chart.
Pete SampsonPANELIST
The reason that ball came out so quickly is Mubakar Traore spun off the student and was in Colton Joseph's face immediately.
Tim PriesterHOST
Yeah, I probably overreacted on Boubacar Traore.
Tim PriesterHOST
Admittedly, I know people are saying that.
Tim PriesterHOST
At one point, I just thought that he continued to get stymied for a period of time by a right tackle who was injured all last year, was injured through camp.
Tyler WojciakGUEST
Defensively, I think they just have to expand the rotations.
Tyler WojciakGUEST
I was a little bit surprised by the fact that Boubacar Traore and Bryce Young played 44 out of a total 61 snaps in that game.
Tyler WojciakGUEST
It's not a criticism.
Tyler WojciakGUEST
Both guys played extremely well.
