Klaus: Texas made the right call changing coaches

Ryan Klaus | Friday, December 2, 2016

The college football coaching carousel kicked into full gear over Thanksgiving weekend, led most notably by Texas’ decision to fire Charlie Strong and hire the crown jewel of this year’s cohort of potential coaching free agents, Tom Herman. Earlier this week, Ben Padanilam suggested in this space that Strong’s firing was unwarranted, citing an unjustly short

Padanilam: Strong firing not warranted

Benjamin Padanilam | Wednesday, November 30, 2016

As the regular season nears its close, college football fans have their eyes on one of two things: the College Football Playoff and the coaching carousel that is already in progress.

Irish fall to Longhorns in double-overtime

Alex Carson | Monday, September 5, 2016

AUSTIN, Texas — Despite trailing 31-14 early in the third quarter, the win was right there for No. 10 Notre Dame. One more score, one more stop, one more big play. That’s all the Irish needed to avoid an upset loss on the opening night of their season. But instead of the Irish getting that

In the first game of the new season, it was a day of firsts for the Irish. Malik Zaire started his first game at home, Josh Adams scored on his first career carry (and then again later in the game), and Justin Yoon kicked his first career field goal for No. 11 Notre Dame. If

Longhorns to debut spread offense

Alex Carson | Friday, September 4, 2015

That Texas head coach Charlie Strong decided to go in a different direction offensively after last season shouldn’t be much of a surprise. Despite playing in the Big 12, where defense can seem optional from time to time, the Longhorns offense struggled last season, finishing in the bottom fifth of all FBS schools in both

Kelly names starters for opener against Texas

Mary Green | Tuesday, September 1, 2015

For the most part, Brian Kelly said his typical Monday practices are lethargic and low-energy. But with Texas coming to town for Notre Dame’s season opener Saturday, the Irish head coach said his team was ready to go for this week. “It was focused,” Kelly said. “There was an intent to really work on getting

Cody Riggs: A Natural Fit

Isaac Lorton | Thursday, September 25, 2014

A fiery red-headed boy, dressed in Notre Dame gear ran up to Cody Riggs outside the Main Building on Wednesday afternoon and yelled, “High five!” With his hand extended above his head, he leapt to meet the hand of the chuckling graduate student cornerback.  “It’s a lot of fun,” Riggs said. “So many young fans
