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

Notre Dame opened its season last year against Rice with a steady rotation in the backfield. Cam McDaniel took the carries during the first Irish drive, Tarean Folston rushed in the second drive, and Greg Bryant stepped in for the third. Rinse and repeat throughout the 48-17 win. This year, Notre Dame has seven running

Nearing its one-year mark, the saga of the so-called “Frozen Five” continues to roll on, but the final two players involved — cornerback KeiVarae Russell and defensive lineman Ishaq Williams — might be near closure.

According to reports from ESPN, 247Sports and Blue & Gold Illustrated, Irish junior running back Greg Bryant has been suspended for the first four games on the 2015 season for a “violation of team rules.” Bryant spent most of spring practice as Notre Dame’s No. 2 option at back behind fellow junior Tarean Folston, though

The Blue-Gold Game might not count for anything, and there’s still an entire summer and fall camp left to determine starting positions, but it seemed everyone was excited about one player after Saturday’s game at LaBar Practice Complex. No, that player wasn’t a quarterback, and his name wasn’t Everett Golson or Malik Zaire. Instead, it

While just nine days stand between Notre Dame and the close of spring practice, the quarterback competition between graduate student Everett Golson and junior Malik Zaire is set to drag on much longer. “They’ll continue to compete into August. No question,” Irish head coach Brian Kelly said after Wednesday’s practice. Super Bowl-winning quarterback Joe Theismann —

NCAA rules allow only 15 practice sessions, including only eight that allow live contact. Just over halfway through Notre Dame’s spring practices, it can be hard to get a read on who has made a jump or what the depth chart might look like come fall, especially when the team can’t get on the field

After a slow start, Notre Dame’s late fourth-quarter comeback bid was just inches off, as it fell to Louisville on Senior Day, 31-28. The Irish (7-4) had a late chance to send the game to overtime, but senior kicker Kyle Brindza’s 32-yard field goal slid wide of the right upright, handing Notre Dame its first
