Brian Kelly typically names his team’s captains in August. But the Irish head coach opted to get an eight-month head start on the ordeal Friday, announcing the seven 2017 captains at the Echoes end-of-season awards banquet. Offensive lineman Mike McGlinchey, who will return for a fifth year as a graduate student, will return as a

LOS ANGELES — As disappointing as this Notre Dame season was, it was exactly what this team deserved. Hell, considering the problems both on and off the field, four wins might have exceeded what this team was worthy of. Because at 4-7 and entering its final game of the season against a bitter rival, the

LOS ANGELES — Close games can be won and lost in a matter of seconds. Notre Dame has been no stranger to this fact this season, as its first seven losses all came by a one-score margin. On Saturday against No. 12 USC, it was 17 seconds that decided the outcome. However, those 17 seconds

I’m not sure what else there is to say. I could say that Notre Dame lost to Virginia Tech on Senior Day by a score of 34-31. But Notre Dame has lost many times before. I could tell you the Irish (4-7) blew 17-0 and 24-7 leads as they let the Hokies (8-3, 5-2 ACC) back

Malik Zaire entered the game with seconds left on the clock, just as the Irish crossed into Virginia Tech territory, and completed a pass to sophomore wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown to pick up a first down as time expired, sealing Notre Dame’s 34-31 loss to the Hokies (8-3). But let’s rewind to the end

The first time Notre Dame fans ever counted on DeShone Kizer, thrust into action after Malik Zaire suffered a broken right ankle, was when he was called upon to rally then-No. 9 Notre Dame from the jaws of defeat against Virginia during the second game of the 2015 Irish campaign. Kizer stepped up and rallied

SAN ANTONIO — Notre Dame has made a habit of quick starts this season; when sophomore receiver C.J. Sanders took the opening kickoff to the house Saturday, it marked the ninth time in 10 contests that Notre Dame had scored the game’s first points. But unlike the monotonous pattern that had developed this season, where

Notre Dame will get a chance to redeem itself against a triple option offense on Saturday, facing Army’s attack one week after losing by one point to a Navy offense that has all but trademarked the system. With a 5-4 record and an average of 410.2 yards gained per game — 320.3 of which come on the ground

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Honestly, it wasn’t that bad. There have been performances by the Irish this season that were undeniably, inarguably, painful-to-watch bad. For example, the secondary getting burned over and over again at Texas, or DeShone Kizer throwing a pick-six to put Stanford on the board, or the defense missing tackles and assignments that

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — For the sixth time this year, Notre Dame lost a game by one possession. This time, it was just one point that separated the Irish and the Midshipmen in Jacksonville, Florida. But this one point stemmed from one play, and it was likely enough to deter Notre Dame from its quest for
