WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — If the Irish weren’t decked out in gold and white, you might not have recognized them in the sweltering heat of Saturday afternoon in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Mostly because the number on the scoreboard seemed a bit too high for it to be the offense we saw struggle against Ball State and

“I mean, he’s going to play. You know how we roll here. We’re going to go with the guy that’s playing really well.” During Notre Dame’s Blue and Gold game this past spring, Irish head coach Brian Kelly was still figuring out who would fill the sizeable hole(s) in the backfield, as Notre Dame (1-0)

Perhaps the biggest question mark heading into this season for Notre Dame football is the quarterback play, and just how much Irish senior quarterback Brandon Wimbush will improve from last season.

The spring season marches on. Notre Dame held its first practice coming back from spring break, and Irish head coach Brian Kelly said his veteran group looks “clean” in the first few practices. “You see it in [senior quarterback Brandon] Wimbush and [senior wide receiver] Miles [Boykin] — they’re going to connect on some big

As Notre Dame prepares for the beginning of its spring season, it does not face nearly the level of uncertainty it did going into the spring last year — the team is coming off a 10-win season and returns 10 of its starters on last season’s defense and the systems on both sides of the ball.

This time last year, Notre Dame had five commitments in its 2016 recruiting class. This year, the Irish have jumped out to a quick start, with nine commitments in the class of 2017, putting them at the No. 7-ranked class thus far, per Rivals. “The class started off pretty well,” Irish recruiting expert for Blue &

Notre Dame picked up commitment No. 18 in the class of 2016 last weekend following the Wake Forest game, but it wasn’t necessarily who everyone expected. Three-star prospect Deon McIntosh from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, became the second running back to join Notre Dame’s 2016 class, pairing with Tony Jones in the future backfield. Irish recruiting

With no immediate matchup looming during the bye week, Notre Dame coaches fanned out across the country on recruiting trips, garnering the class of 2016’s 17th commitment and making progress on several other key targets. Defensive lineman Khalid Kareem, a four-star prospect per Rivals.com, pledged to the Irish last Friday after a visit from head
