Irish head coach Brian Kelly announced seven football captains for the upcoming season Saturday morning on Twitter ahead of the team’s first practice since returning from preseason camp in Culver, Indiana. Quarterback Ian Book, wide receiver Chris Finke, safeties Alohi Gilman and Jalen Elliott, offensive lineman Robert Hainsey and defensive linemen Khalid Kareem and Julian

The Irish defense didn’t look like the dominant unit we’ve seen all year in the first half on a cool Saturday night at the Coliseum. It didn’t look like the aggressive front seven we’d seen against Stanford or the lockdown secondary we’d seen against Syracuse. It even made a 5-6 USC team with questions surrounding

Facing all the pressure in the world, as well as a two-score deficit for the first time all season, No. 3 Notre Dame displayed resiliency and grit Saturday night inside the L.A. Memorial Coliseum, rallying from 10 points down to defeat rival USC 24-17 and complete an undefeated regular season. Playing for a bowl game

As the stakes rise with each Irish win, the parallels between this season and the last two times Notre Dame was undefeated in the regular season are interesting. The 1988 team opened its season with a nail-biting win over Michigan, but went on to dominate its schedule — beating four of the eventual top-seven teams

The famed frieze of Yankee Stadium was adorned with Notre Dame and Shamrock Series flags that fluttered calmly throughout the game, as if they, like Irish head coach Brian Kelly, were confident Notre Dame would walk away with a win. An easy, 36-3 one at that. “We were able to do some things offensively that

Dedication. Leadership. Competitiveness. Toughness. Alohi Gilman has been molded by his experiences to adopt these traits. With a long and rugged journey in his past, from the island of Hawaii to the Naval Academy to Notre Dame, the junior safety has come to terms with himself and who he truly is. Now, having embraced where

If nothing else, when the No. 3 Irish take on the No. 12 Orange on Saturday, the game will provide a unique experience for all involved. The matchup between Notre Dame (10-0) and Syracuse (8-2, 5-2 ACC) will be a high-stakes game for both squads in the renewal of Notre Dame’s signature Shamrock Series, in

SAN DIEGO — Despite a fumble by senior receiver Miles Boykin on the opening play of the evening, No. 3 Notre Dame handled the adversity in style with an efficient offensive display on a warm evening at SDCCU Stadium. The debut of the Navy triple option in the subsequent play set the tone for both

When Notre Dame faces the vaunted Navy triple-option offense in San Diego on Saturday, a recent staple of the Irish defense won’t be on the field. For all the hype the unit has received under Clark Lea this season, no one on the roster comes close to matching the ability of former Irish linebacker Greer

A legacy, a transfer, a Clemson local and a recruit whose next-best offer finished at No. 8 in the ACC his senior season. You’d never know it looking at the cohesive unit that is the Notre Dame secondary, but they’re an eclectic group that have found their way onto the field in unique ways. Two
