Notre Dame’s 2017 defense suffered two blows in quick succession, as junior safety Ashton White chose to leave the team while senior defensive tackle Daniel Cage opted to take a medical redshirt year. White, a three-star recruit from Washington D.C., was one of five players arrested in Fulton County in August 2016 after police found

For the second straight week, Notre Dame will go up against the triple option, as the Irish face Army on Saturday in San Antonio. Coming off a 28-27 loss to Navy this past weekend, Irish head coach Brian Kelly said his team’s mentality needed to go up against a run-first offense remains the same. “We understand the

Despite Notre Dame’s first win in a month over Miami, Irish head coach Brian Kelly was not spending any time in his Tuesday press conference praising his team. Why not? Because Kelly was already worried about preparing for Navy. “Obviously, [Navy head coach] Ken Niumatalolo and what he’s done at Navy has been well documented,”

If there’s a single word Irish players and coaches have repeatedly used to describe No. 12 Michigan State in the week leading up to Saturday’s game, it’s “physical.” That’s especially true of the Spartan offensive line, which will meet a Notre Dame defensive front that allowed 237 yards on the ground in the double-overtime loss

No. 18 Notre Dame bounced back in a big way Saturday with a 39-10 win over Nevada.

Wednesday morning marked Notre Dame’s penultimate spring practice before the Blue-Gold game this Saturday. And while across-the-board open competition has shed light on some areas of the team, others — notably defensive leadership — remain up in the air. After practice Wednesday, Irish defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder discussed the impact of losing leaders from last year

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Every time it looked as though No. 8 Notre Dame’s offense had played the Irish back into the Fiesta Bowl on Friday, No. 7 Ohio State would respond with two seemingly unstoppable forces: junior running back Ezekiel Elliott and sophomore quarterback J.T. Barrett. The pair of Buckeyes sidestepped, stiff-armed and ran right

Senior cornerback KeiVarae Russell will miss Saturday’s trip to No. 11 Stanford, while senior running back C.J. Prosise is doubtful, Irish head coach Brian Kelly announced Sunday during his weekly teleconference. Russell, who left No. 4 Notre Dame’s 19-16 win over Boston College in the fourth quarter with an injury, fractured his right tibia, with surgery planned for

We’ve talked enough about Notre Dame’s “breakout players” of 2015. You might say it’s impossible to talk too much about players like DeShone Kizer, who had a lock on the third-string quarterback slot just six months ago, C.J. Prosise, whose emergence in the backfield has made him one of Notre Dame’s most invaluable assets, or

This weekend marks No. 4 Notre Dame’s annual trip to a professional stadium for its yearly Shamrock Series game. This time, however, it won’t be played in an NFL venue, but a baseball one instead, with Saturday’s game against Boston College held at Fenway Park. The matchup isn’t Notre Dame’s first foray into historic baseball
