Jeremiyah Love Joins the Show! Heisman Hopes, His Health and Future at Notre Dame | The Echoes
On the latest episode of The Echoes: A Podcast on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Mike Golic Jr. and Jessica Smetana are joined by superstar running back and Heisman hopeful Jeremiyah Love — our first returning guest!
We open with a breakdown of Notre Dame’s 10th straight win, all by double digits. As most of the nation slept through the final game of the weekend, the Irish once again rolled, securing their sixth Legends Trophy in the last seven meetings with Stanford.
Then we welcome one of the greatest running backs in Notre Dame history: Jeremiyah Love. He stops by for the second time during a hectic stretch in his Heisman campaign. We dive into his brief injury scare last game, his reaction to breaking Jerome Bettis’ single-season touchdown record, the highs and lows of the season, what winning the Heisman would mean to him, his future in South Bend, and — of course — who’s making questionable Thanksgiving decisions at the dinner table.
After our conversation with Love, Mike and Jessica examine the College Football Playoff picture. Do Miami and Texas have a real path to the playoff? Could the ACC be left out entirely? Drop your thoughts in the comments — who’s in and who’s out?
We close with a look at the ongoing CFB coaching carousel, including Lane Kiffin’s expected move to LSU and Pat Fitzgerald’s return to college football at Michigan State.

Jadarian Price Joins the Show! Love 4 Heisman, Syracuse Smashed, Stanford Next, Happy Thanksgiving!
On this week’s episode of The Echoes: A Podcast on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Mike Golic Jr. and Jessica Smetana break down Notre Dame’s 70–7 Senior Day demolition of Syracuse, and star running back Jadarian Price joins the show!
It was a record-setting performance for the Irish, who exploded for 35 first-quarter points and never looked back. Mike and Jessica relive their favorite moments from the blowout — and Price shares his as well.
As this may have been the final home game for superstar RB Jeremiyah Love, the hosts continue their Love for Heisman campaign and lay out the case for why he should be the frontrunner for college football’s top award.
In tougher news, Notre Dame lost friend of the pod Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa to a season-ending injury. Mike and Jess reflect on KVA’s impact and what he’s meant to the Irish this year.
Then, Jadarian Price joins the show to talk about the wild weekend win, the team’s Thanksgiving plans, and the upcoming trip to the Bay Area to take on Stanford. He also shares his Thanksgiving food preferences — and exposes some questionable choices in the running backs room 👀
Finally, the crew previews Notre Dame vs. Stanford, the 38th meeting in the rivalry and battle for the Legends Trophy. Drop your score predictions in the comments!
Plus: a look at the dramatic Notre Dame women’s basketball win over USC, a tough ending for ND women’s soccer, and postseason heartbreak for ND rugby.
Mike and Jess close the show by wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and sharing what they’re thankful for — Notre Dame style.

Tae Johnson Joins the Show! Notre Dame pounds Pitt, Senior Day Up Next, Hannah Hidalgo Did what??
On this week’s episode of The Echoes: A Podcast on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Mike Golic Jr. and Jessica Smetana break down Notre Dame’s eighth straight win, a dominant 37–15 victory over No. 22 Pitt. They’re also joined by superstar defensive back Tae Johnson!
In the 74th meeting between the Irish and Panthers, Notre Dame’s defense delivered yet another stellar performance. Johnson snagged his team-high fourth interception of the season and took it back for a pick-6.
Tae tells us all about the play, Adon Shuler’s pick-2, what it’s like playing for Marcus Freeman, what he’s learned from his mentors, and what to expect from the Irish the rest of the season, before heading off to Portuguese class.
Shoutout to Malachi Fields, last week’s guest, who hauled in two incredible catches and is emerging as Notre Dame’s top wideout as well. Also on offense, Jeremiyah Love continues to run his way into the Heisman race and into the hearts of Irish fans everywhere.
Jessica was in Pittsburgh for the game and gives a first-hand account of how the Irish dismantled Pat Narduzzi’s team. Mike and Jess also react to Narduzzi’s comments from earlier in the week—maybe he should’ve taken the matchup a bit more seriously or was it all overblown?
In the final block, Mike and Jess preview Senior Day in South Bend as the Irish host Syracuse. ND legend Steve Angeli won’t suit up for the Orange due to injury, but Mike shares some of his favorite Senior Day memories. Also, Mike is done with the USC-ND rivalry drama and wants to move on at this point.
Plus, updates from around Notre Dame athletics: the rugby team clinched a Big Ten title, and Hannah Hidalgo delivered a jaw-dropping performance worthy of national attention.

Pete Buttigieg Joins The Echoes! ND Star WR Malachi Fields + Navy Recap & Pitt Preview | The Echoes
On this week’s episode of The Echoes: A Podcast on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Mike Golic Jr. and Jessica Smetana are joined by former South Bend Mayor and U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, plus star wide receiver Malachi Fields.
Mike and Jess kick things off by breaking down Notre Dame’s dominant 49–10 win over Navy — the team’s seventh straight victory — and preview this weekend’s tricky matchup against Pitt. Despite what head coach Pat Narduzzi says, it’s a big one, and ESPN’s College GameDay will be in town for it.
Then, Mayor Pete joins the show to talk all things Notre Dame and South Bend. He shares his thoughts on Marcus Freeman, his favorite moments inside Notre Dame Stadium, and how the relationship between the city and the university has evolved over the years.
Later, Malachi Fields stops by to discuss his unique perspective as a Virginia standout facing Notre Dame, what it’s like being in the opposing locker room, and how he handled playing in his first-ever snow game.
Finally, Mike and Jess close things out by looking ahead to the rivalry matchup against Pitt — a game that always brings memories (and a few nightmares) for Golic. Plus, it’s a big week for both men’s and women’s basketball teams this week with two heavyweight matchups.

REACTION: Notre Dame College Football Playoff Ranking | The Echoes
On this week’s episode of The Echoes: A Podcast on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Mike Golic Jr. and Jessica Smetana react to the College Football Playoff Rankings and our Notre Dame Fighting Irish being ranked 10th.
As we all know, the haters will always have something to say about Notre Dame and the football program, and they have been very vocal especially in Miami, as the Hurricanes are ranked 18th even though they beat ND in the first game of the season.
Thankfully, the committee used common sense and saw how the Irish are playing now compared to Miami and others, as ND is the highest ranked 2-loss team in the country.
Mike and Jess break it all down and let you know how to handle all the ND hate in the best way possible. Up next for the Irish is a big test against Navy this weekend.
