Slow start for both teams The game started slowly with seven consecutive three-and-out possessions for the Notre Dame and Cal offenses. For the Irish, this meant 10 total yards in their opening four possessions. For the Golden Bears, it was 14 yards through their first three. On their fourth possession, Cal was finally able to

The first time Irish fans saw Drew Pyne take the field for the blue and gold, it was at the tail end of a 52-0 blowout win over South Florida. Not exactly the most memorable moment. However, the second time Pyne saw the field with the Irish tells you everything you need to know about

It’s no secret that, at 0-2, the Notre Dame football team is feeling some pressure. And the leadership position that being a captain of said team can certainly amplify that pressure.

After a devastating defeat against unranked Marshall, the Irish are looking to regroup and revitalize this weekend at home against Cal.

Between a string of close games and an unexpected late season coaching change, the 2021 Notre Dame football season had its fair share of ups and downs. Despite the obstacles the team faced, however, the Irish still managed to post an 11-2 record and make a New Year’s Six game. Irish survive early nailbiters The

Fans heading to the Blue and Gold game Saturday afternoon were hoping to get their first look at the anticipated quarterback competition between sophomore Tyler Buchner and redshirt sophomore Drew Pyne. Those hopes were dashed Tuesday when Buchner rolled his ankle. Still, fans in attendance got to see plenty of Pyne, who started under center

For the first time in four months, the Irish will be back in front of fans for Saturday’s Blue and Gold game. On Jan. 1, 2022, the discussion of Notre Dame football centered around Marcus Freeman, the shape of his staff and what the offense would do without its leading running back as the Irish
