Notre Dame Football: Projected 2-deep depth chart for 2019 season

The wait is finally over and we are less than a week away from Notre Dame football. Here is who you’ll be seeing suit up for the Irish in 2019.

Postseason losses (especially those in the playoff) have a way of sticking with you all the way up to Week 1 of the following season, sometimes even longer. For the Irish, a 2018 playoff loss at the hands of Clemson is one that may linger throughout the 2019 season. Regardless, patience has paid off for Irish fans who will once again be watching their team take the field in a matter of days.

With significant changes up and down the roster, there are bound to be hits and misses with those playing meaningful snaps for the first time since joining the roster. This makes a two-deep depth chart all the more important as we’re able to take note of players who might be making impacts sooner rather than later if those above them falter early.

While Louisville had one of its worst seasons in recent memory last year, they nonetheless remain a threat to the Irish if they go on and play sloppy football. A bye week followed by a home game against New Mexico is all the Irish will have left to prepare for a road matchup against Georgia, so it is vitally important that the Irish use these first couple games to tie up any loose ends.

We all witnessed the dangers of starting out slow in 2018 as the Irish crawled to a 3-0 start after close calls against Michigan, Ball State, and Vanderbilt. Here’s a look at a unit that hopes to do the opposite as they face off against Louisville to start the season.
