With some key departures in a position that was already questionable for the Irish, it will be vital for some new, young wide receivers to step up for the Irish in 2021. Position Group: Wide Receivers 2021 Depth Chart: graduate student Avery Davis; seniors Kevin Austin, Braden Lenzy, Lawrence Keys III and Joe Wilkins Jr.;

As I wrote in a column before this past football season’s opener against Duke: “A football season is made up of moments — moments which stick in the minds of fans and linger with them until they are, usually, consigned to history and replaced by moments of the next year. Some moments get overlooked but

NOTRE DAME, Ind. — On Jan. 2, 2021, University of Kentucky redshirt freshman guard Dontaie Allen hit seven three-pointers in a 78-73 overtime win over Mississippi State. No, don’t go anywhere. You’re in the right place (assuming you’re here for a Notre Dame football discussion). The reason I bring up that Kentucky basketball business is

Here we go again. Alright, I’ve put out two columns now that have elicited negative responses for my takes on not trusting Brian Kelly in 2021, an admittedly rash piece, and the debate over developing young talent or trying to make the CFP next season — a more thought-out piece that somehow managed to earn

With Notre Dame’s big win over Clemson on Saturday, the NCAA’s blanket waiver for fall athletes holds more weight than ever. While the reasons may not be the most apparent, they are still important to note. I think the biggest issue for the team this year has been the inconsistency that comes with a disjointed

Not a whole lot of questions this week after Notre Dame beat Pitt 45-3. But that’s OK. It just means we can go more in depth on what we got. Enjoy. Does ND have the ability at receiver to compete with Clemson after 2 injuries? Love that you’re already looking past Georgia Tech. Let’s

Pitt has long been a dangerous opponent for Notre Dame. Twice, the Panthers have nearly ruined the Irish’s unbeaten seasons, both in 2012 and 2018. In the last six games against the Panthers, the Irish had won five, but they only notched one victory by more than a touchdown. Coming off an underwhelming 12-7 win
