Ground-and-pound football was featured before a full house at Notre Dame stadium. The running game has been a major strength for the No. 22 Irish (4-1) offense this season, and that strength flexed its muscles early in the Week 5 matchup against Miami (OH). On just the second play from scrimmage, junior running back Josh

During a break in action just four minutes into the first quarter, a graphic on the Notre Dame video board proclaimed that the No. 1 key for the Irish would be getting off to a fast start. By the time the graphic showed, however, junior running back Josh Adams and No. 22 Notre Dame had

Over the past year, this weekly Insider column has been negative more often than not. That’s what a 4-8 season will do. But after a 38-18 win over Michigan State in which every unit played extremely well with good coaching, there’s really nothing negative to say. A big win in a rivalry game tends to

On October 6, 2014, when Notre Dame announced that they would host Miami (OH) in 2017, RedHawks head coach Chuck Martin didn’t think he’d have to adjust to the idea of hoping the Irish lose.
