On the latest episode of The Echoes: A Podcast on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Mike Golic Jr. and Jessica Smetana break down Notre Dame’s heartbreaking road loss at Miami. The Irish started slow, rallied back in true Marcus Freeman fashion, but ultimately fell on a last-second Hurricanes field goal. Mike and Jess share their thoughts on C.J. Carr’s performance in a tough environment—where the first-year QB showed grit, made big plays, and proved he belongs. They also dive into what worked, what didn’t, and why Irish fans shouldn’t panic just yet. Jeremiyah Love will bounce back, the team has time to regroup, and eyes are already turning toward the big matchup with Texas A&M in two weeks. Plus, get the first details on our Echoes Live show in South Bend on Saturday, September 13th, featuring special guests while Mike is on assignment. As always, your questions drive the conversation—including whether Notre Dame has a defensive coordinator problem. Drop more in the comments and we’ll cover them in future shows. And it wouldn’t be The Echoes without some extra Irish news: Sonia Citron breaks a Caitlin Clark record in the WNBA, and former Irish safety Tom Zbikowski is teasing a fight with the Paul brothers. Could it happen?
