Jordan Faison - Down game in win over NCS Faison saw his receiving numbers drop against North Carolina State with 49 yards on four receptions in the Notre Dame 36-7 win over North Carolina State on Saturday.

Impact For the junior it ended a streak of three games with 83 yards or more. Despite the drop against the Wolfpack, Faison has been experiencing his best season with the Irish. In six games he has accumulated 376 receiving yards on 29 catches and two touchdowns. Notre Dame takes on USC on Oct. 18. The junior could have a great chance for putting up some good numbers against the Trojans whose pass defense is in the bottom quarter of the country.

Will Pauling - Career best in victory Pauling caught four passes for 105 yards and a touchdown in the Notre Dame 36-7 win over North Carolina State on Saturday.

Impact The reception numbers are not only his top yardage in a game this season, but for his career. The Wisconsin transfer had been relatively quiet until the last few weeks. His career best came with the Badgers in 2023 with 694 receiving yards on 66 catches. The senior will have to have a great second half of the season to match that season. Pauling has 243 receiving yards on 13 receptions in the first six games for the Irish. Notre Dame takes on USC on Oct. 18. The senior could have a great chance for putting up some good numbers against the Trojans whose pass defense is in the bottom quarter of the country.

Eli Raridon - Registers career best Raridon had his best game in South Bend in catching seven passes for 109 yards in the Notre Dame 36-7 win over North Carolina State on Saturday.

Impact Raridon has taken over at tight end with the graduation of Mitchell Evens. He has 342 receiving yards on 20 receptions so far this season. The Irish take on USC on Oct. 18. He could have a great chance for putting up some good numbers against the Trojans whose pass defense is in the bottom quarter of the country.

Jeremiyah Love - Adds pair of TDs Love led the Notre Dame ground game with 86 yards on 18 attempts and added two more touchdowns to his resume this season in the 36-7 win over North Carolina State on Saturday.

Impact Like the rest of the Irish, Love had a better second half where he tallied 49 yards rushing. The junior is online to duplicate or better the 2024 touchdown total where he collected 15 scores. With the two touchdowns against North Carolina State, Love has eight scores in six games. He could have a tough time against USC on Oct. 18. The Trojans defense against the run is in the top 30 in the nation. USC's defense has allowed only three rushing touchdowns.

OCTOBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

CJ Carr - Second best outing Carr threw for 342 yards on completing 19-of-31 pass attempts and two touchdowns in the 36-7 win over North Carolina State on Saturday.

Impact The redshirt freshman had a big game two weeks ago against Arkansas with 354 yards in completing 22-of-30 pass attempts and four touchdowns. Carr continues to show why Notre Dame went with him this season. He'll take on USC on Oct. 18. He could have a great chance for putting up some good numbers against the Trojans whose pass defense is in the bottom quarter of the country.

Micah Gilbert - Out vs. Trojans Gilbert (hand) won't be available for Notre Dame's tilt with USC on Saturday night, per Tyler Horka of On3.com.

Impact Gilbert hurt his hand against NC State, and has quickly been ruled out for Week. 8. That's certainly not the greatest sign moving forward, but the true freshman wideout will look to take the week to heal and potentially return after a bye week against Boston College on Nov. 1.

OCTOBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Cooper Flanagan - Remains questionable for Week 8 Flanagan (achilles) is questionable for Notre Dame's tilt with USC in Week 8, Tyler Horka of On3.com reports.

Impact Flanagan has yet to play this season, and it remains to be seen if that will change at all in 2025. The junior tight end has struggled to find his way into the field during his time in South Bend, and for the moment, Eli Raridon and Ty Washington should continue to hold down the tight end position for the Irish.

OCTOBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Jaden Greathouse - Deemed questionable vs. Trojans Greathouse (thigh) is questionable for Notre Dame's rivalry tilt with USC on Saturday night, per Tyler Horka of On3.com.

Impact Greathouse has missed two straight games and is in danger of missing a third. If the slot receiver, who has four grabs for 73 yards this season, is forced to sit out once again, expect Will Pauling to once again get more looks Saturday night against USC.
