As Notre Dame grinded its way to a 4-0 start on the strength of its run game and defense, the underperforming passing game came under intense scrutiny. The deep passing game was shaky at some times and nonexistent at others. Graduate student quarterback Ian Book was avoiding mistakes, but the lack of a vertical aspect

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

The passing game has been a much maligned part of the Notre Dame football roster this season. Entering their clash with Pitt, the No. 3 Irish were averaging just 178 yards per game through the air, having leaned heavily on a dynamic running game to start their season with an unblemished 4-0 record. The frustrations

After the 12-7 Irish win over Louisville, wide receivers junior Kevin Austin and graduate student Ben Skowronek topped the target list Saturday for graduate student quarterback Ian Book. The pair each had two targets, with one and two receptions, respectively. These were their first receptions of the season, as they are both coming off injuries.

Hayden Adams — Sports Editor And we’re back! It’s been a long two weeks since the Irish postponed their game against Wake Forest. Now they’re looking down the barrel at Florida State. The Seminoles are presumably looking down their own barrel, but theirs is essentially the barrel of a BB or Nerf gun. Remember when

Notre Dame football head coach Brian Kelly spoke with the press in preparation for Saturday’s home game against Florida State. This press conference comes off of a two-week break for the Fighting Irish, and Kelly discussed lessons learned and the wide receiver position. “Certainly for me and our team, and certainly, our entire staff, we’re

I’ve said it a million and one times, but I am from Lexington, Ky., and as such I have a rooting interest in University of Kentucky athletics. The Southeastern Conference kicked off their football season this past Saturday with a full slate of games that included Florida-Ole Miss, LSU-Mississippi State, Georgia-Arkansas and Auburn-Kentucky. That last
