If Kyren Williams has learned anything during his time at Notre Dame, it has been patience. Coming out of high school, his position label was simply “athlete” — he rushed, he received; he caught, he threw: he punted, he returned; he played defense and he broke through it. As a senior, he recorded 26 touchdowns

Aaron Banks had anything but a conventional high school football career. The senior guard from Alameda, California, stands at nearly 6-foot-6 and 330 pounds, no welcoming sight to any opposing defender despite what his smile might convince you in his UND.com player profile. The starting right guard for Notre Dame causes problems for whoever lines

Following a 12-7 win over Louisville in which graduate student quarterback Ian Book completed just 11 of 19 passes for 106 yards, Notre Dame’s passing game has become a point of acute scrutiny as it braces for a matchup with perennial defensive power Pittsburgh. While Book perpetually receives his fair share of criticism, the larger

Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly announced in a press conference Monday that junior running back Jahmir Smith would be leaving the football team. This conference was held ahead of Notre Dame’s matchup with the University of Pittsburgh this weekend. Smith chose Notre Dame over several other scholarship offers, enrolling at the University in January

Let the record show, I’m agreeing with Brian Kelly for *possibly* the first time in my life. At least mostly agreeing. Notre Dame’s showing versus Louisville was nothing to write home about, but before the panic sets in, there were some good takeaways. Yes, the team only scored a single touchdown and the Cardinals recorded

Sophomore running back Kyren Williams fumbled on the 2nd play from scrimmage, and the rust was real. Then, No. 5 Notre Dame forced a Florida State field goal and scored two touchdowns on a pair of drives that combined for 8 plays and 151 yards, highlighted by two huge runs from Williams. And the rust

Last season, after a somewhat underwhelming season opener, Notre Dame welcomed an overmatched New Mexico State squad to Notre Dame Stadium, where the Irish pounded the Lobos 66-14. After struggling to establish offensive consistency at Louisville 12 days earlier, then-senior quarterback Ian Book tossed for 360 yards and five touchdowns. Ten different Irish players had

Notre Dame Passing Given Ian Book’s status as a third-year starter and fifth-year senior captain, as well as Florida State’s recent struggles, it would easy to chalk this up as a Notre Dame advantage. That said, the perplexing thing about the Seminoles is their struggles in spite of how much talent they have, especially on

Hayden Adams — Sports Editor And we’re back! It’s been a long two weeks since the Irish postponed their game against Wake Forest. Now they’re looking down the barrel at Florida State. The Seminoles are presumably looking down their own barrel, but theirs is essentially the barrel of a BB or Nerf gun. Remember when

When it comes to this, my word is gospel (or so I like to think anyway). Athletes are the closest thing in everyday life to superheroes. Their physical prowess awes the masses. With that in mind, leave it to a wannabe Scene Writer like me to write a column combining my two greatest passions: sports
