While Ian Book was busy getting drafted in the fourth round of the NFL Draft by the New Orleans Saints, his Notre Dame Fighting Irish took the field for their spring game, as the Irish faithful got their first look at what the quarterback position could look like after the Book era, which ended with

After the spring, give me your ideal Notre Dame quarterback depth chart. Mannion: Tentatively Tyler Buchner, Jack Coan, Drew Pyne. I cannot handle another year of Notre Dame football making plays and not scoring. The only person who broke that pattern today was Buchner, who, in his few snaps, marched down the field leading two

Recruiting. It’s the lifeblood of every legitimately successful college football program. Not to sound too much like Voldemort and his death eaters hyping up college football’s purebloods (i.e. recruiting dynasties), but don’t get me started on the half-bloods (i.e. developmental programs) or the mudbloods (i.e. USC and Michigan). If there’s anything we know about where

With the Blue and Gold game taking place this weekend, it is time to take our first official look at the Irish offense for the 2021 season. There were a lot of key departures, particularly at the quarterback, wide receiver and offensive line positions. But the Irish return key playmakers at running back and tight

What do you do when the inspiration for a whole branding of a Heisman campaign — complete with hats and a hashtag — leaves school early, declaring for the draft? Reload. That is what the Irish have done this spring at the running back position. Although no one has shown the same consistent explosiveness as

While Saturday’s Blue-Gold Game marked the culmination of Notre Dame’s spring program in a 27-14 win for the Gold team, Irish head coach Brian Kelly stressed the continued work and progression of a program that has undergone seven coaching changes, a new defensive scheme and a new starting quarterback. “We wanted to take all of

Despite coming off of a 4-8 season in 2016, Notre Dame is riding some recruiting momentum. On National Signing Day, the Irish came away with a top-15 recruiting class despite six decommitments over the course of the recruiting process. But for the 2018 class, a top-15 finish would be a disappointment rather than the goal,

With all eyes on Malik Zaire and DeShone Kizer, it was senior punter Tyler Newsome who had a busy day as both offenses struggled to put points on the board in Notre Dame’s Blue-Gold Game. The final score was 17-7 in favor of the Blue squad, led by Kizer, but more important than the final

In a game that had the potential to add some clarity to the quarterback competition at Notre Dame, the Blue-Gold Game did everything but. Malik Zaire and DeShone Kizer had their moments, but they also had their fair share of missed opportunities in the contest. They both showed off their arms and legs, displaying the ability
