The Notre Dame Fighting Irish came off a strong season in 2015, and Brian Kelly's squad is looking to get in the College Football Playoff in 2016.

Mike Vorel for Notre Dame Insider joined the Sam Bourquin Show Tuesday to preview the Fighting Irish and talk about the goals and expectations for the team this season.

Vorel says that he expects this team will have a solid campaign this season, which will help a young team build their confidence.

"They're very young, but very talented,"Vorel said. "If you look at this year's schedule, it's more forgiving than in year's past, so 9-10 wins is very realistic for this team."

Notre Dame will open up the season on the road against the University of Texas, before coming to South Bend to take on Nevada.
