WATCH: Analysis of Notre Dame football fall camp practice No. 1 in Hey Horka!
Blue & Gold’s Tyler Horka and Jack Soble went over Notre Dame football fall camp practice No. 1 in a YouTube live show Wednesday night for the latest edition of the Hey Horka! BlueandGold.com message board mailbag podcast. The two Fighting Irish beat reporters discussed the following questions from Lou Somogyi message board subscribers, whose account usernames are after the dash…
• Who surprised you the most that nobody seems to talk about? — Mizzo
• Which coach was the most fired up? — Mizzo
• Did Riley Leonard look like a quarterback who can beat top 10 teams with his arm? — Kcndmis97
• Who were Notre Dame’s starters on offense and defense? — AceCake501
• How did the defensive ends look? — AceCake501
• When the depth chart for the Notre Dame vs. Texas A&M game comes out, you will be pleasantly surprised if _________? — arrowfan624
• How can Notre Dame avoid a letdown after the Texas A&M game? — jrp3
• Was there a Gabriel Rubio sighting? How did he look? — Rich Starkey
There were plenty of spinoff conversions spurred on by live chatters who were watching the stream in real time. For instance, multiple references to Tyler Buchner, a former Notre Dame and Alabama quarterback who is now a walk-on wide receiver for the Fighting Irish, led to a back-and-forth about Buchner’s new role with the team.
The last time we saw Buchner in blue and gold, he struggled to compete with Sam Hartman in the 2023 Blue-Gold Game. He was off to Alabama shortly after the conclusion of that scrimmage. Watch the video to find out what Buchner is up to at Notre Dame now.

Multiple of the aforementioned questions led to detailed breakdowns about the state of the Notre Dame wide receivers. Do Blue & Gold’s beat reporters think the Irish are working with enough in that position group? Which of them had the best day Wednesday? And on a related note, what did they think of Leonard’s outing in his first fall camp practice in South Bend?
