Notre Dame opens its season with a primetime game Saturday night in College Station. The Fighting Irish released their Week 1 depth chart Monday ahead of that marquee matchup.

It was already clear that Duke transfer quarterback Riley Leonard is QB1, but there are other notable distinctions across the Notre Dame two-deep.
