Notre Dame made a valiant effort against Ohio State on Saturday night but a sputtering offense didn’t do enough against the Buckeyes despite a stellar showing from the Irish defense.
What needs to be changed and what’s being addressed with Marshall making their first trip to Notre Dame Stadium?
There were a few ever-so-slight changes to Notre Dame’s official depth chart as it was released on Monday.
The injury to Jarrett Patterson leaves questions to his availability for this weekend as you almost wonder if it makes sense just to give him a little extra time to heal with a pair of less-than-stellar opponents waiting in Marshall and Cal.
Here is the updated Notre Dame depth chart ahead of the 2022 home-opener against Marshall:
