It’s a Wednesday evening in the middle of midterms week for Notre Dame students, the time of year right before a much-needed fall break finally arrives, and Will Fuller has places to be. The junior receiver just wrapped up practice days before his team’s biggest rival comes to town, but he still has to take

Notre Dame’s offense totaled 459 total yards on Saturday, leading the way in its 41-24 victory over Navy. While the defense came out of the gate slow against the difficult triple-option scheme of the Midshipmen (4-1, 2-0 AAC), the offense of the No. 15 Irish (5-1) picked up the slack until the second half, when the rounded team

CLEMSON, South Carolina — For three quarters, it looked like Notre Dame’s undefeated season was unquestionably over. Trailing 21-3, the No. 15 Irish (4-1) had looked like anything but a team that was capable of handling No. 6 Clemson’s stout rush defense, Death Valley and Hurricane Joaquin’s unrelenting deluge. That’s when sophomore quarterback DeShone Kizer found

There were two reasons No. 6 Notre Dame even had the opportunity to make a comeback bid Saturday night against Clemson: the defense and sophomore quarterback DeShone Kizer. If I had known last week Notre Dame would go into Death Valley and only give up 24 points, I would have said the Irish were going to win

Throughout the week leading up to Saturday’s game, there was much sparring on social media between the Notre Dame receivers and the Clemson defensive backs. On the field Saturday, the Tigers got the better of their Irish counterparts for the most part, but the Irish receivers didn’t help themselves with mistakes of their own. As

Over the past couple seasons, Irish quarterbacks have found a bevy of targets for their throws. Junior Will Fuller certainly has hit his stride in the open field and found end zone plenty of times, but he’s far from the only option offered, with graduate student Amir Carlisle, senior Chris Brown and juniors Torii Hunter

There’s a massive spotlight on Malik Zaire, and he couldn’t be more comfortable. Media scrums don’t faze him. Pregame hype doesn’t bother him. Texas and its strong, fast, 3-3-5 defense doesn’t intimidate him. Instead, he talks. Answering questions, greeting teammates, joking around with trainers, the junior quarterback is constantly conversing with everyone around him. For

More than halfway through his 40-minute press conference at Tuesday’s media day, Brian Kelly had some news to break. “By the way, KeiVarae [Russell] was fully cleared by the NCAA and reinstated, so he is back with us,” the Irish head coach said. “Like how I dropped that one in there? Pretty cool, huh?” The

With the recent T-Pain resurgence, due to a bomb South by Southwest showing and (grossly untrue) rumors that he was going to play Legends, I have been reflecting on one of the most underrated and, as of late, underused music strategies: introducing your song as if it is airing on the radio. A recent listen to

As the sun sets throughout the United States on Jan. 11, 2016, the sports world’s eyes will be turned to Glendale, Arizona, where two teams will take the field for the national championship. We don’t know who we’ll see on that field in just under nine months. Ohio State, the defending national champions, are clearly
