In a weekly YouTube live show, Blue & Gold’s Mike Singer, Todd Burlage and Tyler Horka discuss and react to the latest news and notes in the world of Notre Dame football and recruiting. Tim Hyde is off this week and will return to the show next week.

There were interesting results in college football this past weekend — especially teams that Notre Dame will face this season. Has the way the Irish have played this year — combined with how their opponents have looked — impacted how the guys view Notre Dame’s outlook this fall? That’s on the docket for tonight’s show, as well as, yes, talking about recent comments from ex-Irish head coach Brian Kelly.

It is not a show to miss for Fighting Irish fans. Watch it in the video player below!

Here is everything Doeren said about Notre Dame in his weekly press conference.

Opening statement
