Senior Brandon Wimbush put an end to the quarterback competition Saturday. Irish head coach Brian Kelly may not come out and say it, and the team may not even publicize that view at all in the coming future, but it still happened. Kelly needs to acknowledge Wimbush as the starter. Maybe not today, maybe not

Heading into the 2018-2019 season, the Irish have some holes to fill at wide receiver and running back. Most notably, Notre Dame will be without one-time 2017 Heisman candidate Josh Adams, the team’s star running back last season who declared a year early for the NFL Draft. Adams rushed for a sterling 1,430 yards last

Notre Dame offensive coordinator Chip Long talked about some of the pieces of his 2018 offense, including sophomore quarterback Avery Davis and junior wide receiver Chase Claypool, after practice Thursday. Davis, who did not see the field last year, looked set to be the odd-man-out among scholarship quarterbacks for 2018, with senior Brandon Wimbush, junior

The spring season marches on. Notre Dame held its first practice coming back from spring break, and Irish head coach Brian Kelly said his veteran group looks “clean” in the first few practices. “You see it in [senior quarterback Brandon] Wimbush and [senior wide receiver] Miles [Boykin] — they’re going to connect on some big

As Notre Dame prepares for the beginning of its spring season, it does not face nearly the level of uncertainty it did going into the spring last year — the team is coming off a 10-win season and returns 10 of its starters on last season’s defense and the systems on both sides of the ball.

Facebook has 2.7 billion users, and each and every one of them uses it differently. Some people use it to share articles they enjoyed; many will use it to share updates on life, family and friends; some even use it to share photographs or memes. But if you’re Chase Claypool, you use Facebook to land

Notre Dame, after being ranked No. 3 in the first announcement of this year’s College Football Playoff rankings Tuesday, defeated Wake Forest 48-37 under a rainy grey sky Saturday afternoon at Notre Dame Stadium. It was the fourth time in the last seven years the Irish (8-1) and the Demon Deacons (5-4, 2-3 ACC) have

The talk all week had surrounded Notre Dame’s star junior running back and Heisman Trophy-candidate Josh Adams. Adams was coming off a huge week against NC State’s sixth-ranked rushing defense, which he gashed for a whopping 202 yards and a score, so it seemed reasonable to think that if Notre Dame (8-1) was to succeed

Ground-and-pound football was featured before a full house at Notre Dame stadium. The running game has been a major strength for the No. 22 Irish (4-1) offense this season, and that strength flexed its muscles early in the Week 5 matchup against Miami (OH). On just the second play from scrimmage, junior running back Josh

Whether it’s acing a test or doing exactly what’s needed at the right time on the job, it feels good to be perfect. And while there have been questions about Notre Dame’s offensive balance and potential so far this season, one thing no one can question is the performance in the red zone. The Irish
