In the atrium of Notre Dame’s Guglielmino Athletics Complex sits seven iterations of the statue college football players dream of winning. But behind those seven Heismans sits six more trophies, a selection of some of the “other” individual awards in college football. In the middle of those six sits the Outland Trophy. Given to the

The Boston College matchup isn’t exactly the kind of game that stands out when you look at Notre Dame’s schedule. Georgia. Stanford. USC. Those are the names that jump off the page. If Boston College stands out at all, it is because of the “Holy War” rivalry between the two schools, but certainly not because

It seemed like a dream scenario. After stopping Georgia on 3rd-and-short, the Irish forced the Bulldogs to punt the ball back to them with 1:57 left in the fourth quarter.

The first rule of being a successful football coach is to win. The second rule is to win recently. In his seven seasons at Notre Dame, head coach Brian Kelly has shown he can win. He took over a team that finished 6-6 in 2009 and turned it into an undefeated season and an appearance

November 28th, 2015. Stanford, California. Josh Adams is running at full speed. He’s 35 yards from the end zone. Nothing but green grass between him and the goal line. The entire defense behind, chasing the ball-carrier. That’s a situation Josh Adams, at the time only a freshman, had already seen before. He broke out for

Earlier this week, Georgia head coach Kirby Smart referred to the Irish offensive line as “as good looking of an O-line as you’ll play ever.” After leading the Irish (1-0) to 422 rushing yards against Temple on Saturday, one of the best offensive lines in the country is hoping to keep up the strong performance against

As the saying goes, it’s out of the frying pan and into the fire. The Irish were able to overcome all of their offseason question marks last weekend in convincing fashion, as Notre Dame dominated Temple on both sides of the ball in a performance reminiscent of the home games of 2015.
