ORLANDO — Whether Notre Dame fans like it or not, Camping World Stadium now belongs to the Irish. Returning to an Orlando bowl game for the second time in three years, the Irish (11-2) secured their 11th win of the season Saturday, besting Iowa State 33-9 in the Camping World Bowl. While lacking the theatrics of

A lot could be said of Notre Dame’s offensive production Saturday afternoon. In its first game without former offensive coordinator Chip Long, the Irish managed to produce 455 yards of total offense on 65 plays. Senior quarterback Ian Book threw for 247 yards and a touchdown with efficiency, going 20-for-28 on pass attempts. Senior running

Irish football head coach Brian Kelly held a press conference Sunday after Notre Dame’s matchup with Iowa State in the Camping World Bowl was announced. Kelly gave his initial analysis of Iowa State, and commented on playing a team from the Big-12 — something the Irish haven’t done since playing Texas in 2016. “I mean,

On a dreary, cold and rainy Palo Alto afternoon, one which held firm expectations of a commanding Irish victory, things began mysteriously for Notre Dame.

After Notre Dame’s senior day victory against Boston College, I wrote a column expressing my frustration for the game despite the 40-7 result in Notre Dame’s favor. I’ll be honest, I was looking for a reason to be negative. However, given that is Thanksgiving, I thought I would write this column in the spirit of

It’s the season of giving thanks, and Irish sophomore receiver Lawrence Keys III has a lot to be thankful for. “Honestly, I’m thankful for everything,” Keys said. “These guys, they’re a wonderful group of guys. I love them to death. I’m willing to do anything for them, because I know they’re willing to do anything

Meeting for the 25th time in rivalry history, Boston College traveled to South Bend on Friday to take on the Irish. Despite getting off to a shaky start in the first half the Irish were easily able to handle the Eagles (5-6, 3-4 ACC) after they came out of the locker room to start the

It’s not that the offense was incredibly meandering to start the game, putting up only 16 points and needing a questionable defensive pass interference with six seconds remaining to put them in range of their third field goal of the first half. It’s not redshirt freshman quarterback Phil Jurkovec’s apparent obsession with running the ball

Senior wide receiver Chase Claypool has been part of a Notre Dame football class that has had a unique run. Their freshman year was a 4-8 disaster that saw both coordinators get fired and Brian Kelly pushed to the brink of his job. In the two years since, the team has been in constant College
