With nearly its entire starting lineup back for another year, Notre Dame is as set as any team in FBS for the upcoming season. This has made this year's spring practice one that's been less about competition and more about tweaking and tinkering—there are almost as many position changes as position battles.
But that doesn't mean Saturday's Blue-Gold scrimmage won't have any less value than in years past. The offense vs. defense competition will give Fighting Irish fans an idea of how this year's team is going to look under the guidance of new offensive coordinator Mike Sanford and how it's coming along in its second season with coordinator Brian VanGorder running the defense.
There will also be a handful of players whose performances on Saturday will go a long way toward determining their roles in the fall. Some are in line to be starters, while others are looking to fill spots as backups or get into the mix in other ways.
Here's a look at some players who warrant the most attention on Saturday.
