​Fans of Notre Dame football have become accustomed to bad injury news before and during the season. Look, you’re not alone. Many college football programs deal with injuries much in the same way as the Irish, because that’s just the name of the game out there.That’s what depth is for.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementInjuries suck and there’s no way around it, but they also create opportunity. There are some recent examples that show the “positive” (in huge quotation marks) happenings that come from injuries. We have the trials of Charles Jagusah and the emergence of Anthonie Knapp over the last two years. We also saw Notre Dame’s best cornerback in Ben Morrison go down who was replaced with Leonard Moore.Again… DEPTH with several dashes of coaching.On a recent Cover 3 Podcast, Bud Elliott talked about how Notre Dame is a title contender, but needs a lot of injury luck — otherwise they are maybe just a 10 win team this season.Nevermind the fact that this statement could be made about any team with a real chance at winning a national championship, he pulls a number right out of his hat — three. Three players (no names mind you) that need to stay healthy that are injury prone, otherwise the Irish just don’t have enough playmakers to be an elite team.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWhat year is it?I’m guessing that the three he’s thinking about are Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa, Jaden Greathouse, and Charles Jagusah — but I suppose Leonard Moore could be a name tossed in there as well (maybe). Those are great players for sure, but is the hyperbole hitting hard here?The single greatest injury threat to the season is CJ Carr, the Irish starting quarterback. I’m no genius, but I suspect it would be incredibly difficult for just about any team to win the national championship if the starting quarterback goes down.Are there major injury questions going into camp? I mean — kind of. Those three names specifically are definitely ones to keep an eye on, but for it to become a talking point as of the entire season rests on their health seems pretty bogus.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIf you want to check the depth, check the depth.Player/ClassFreshmenSophomoreJuniorSeniorGraduateQuarterbackNoah Grubbs, Teddy JarrardBlake HebertC.J.
