Former Alabama head coach and current ESPN College GameDay analyst Nick Saban criticized Notre Dame's performance against BYU, pointing out a significant flaw in Marcus Freeman's team.
Saban made the comments during an appearance on ESPN's College GameDay on September 5, 2026, in Austin, Texas. He highlighted issues with Notre Dame's defensive alignment that BYU exploited.
The Fighting Irish fell to the Cougars in a matchup that raised questions about Freeman's program. Saban's remarks add to the scrutiny surrounding Notre Dame's early-season struggles.
