In the most disappointing performance of the season, the Irish offense sputtered in a loss to No. 25 Lousiville that put to bed any remaining hopes of a College Football Playoff appearance. Here is a look at the performance of each offensive position group during the 33-20 loss. Quarterbacks By now, everyone has likely

It’s hard to believe that Notre Dame football is already halfway through the season, but at 5-1, it only gets harder from here. It’s easy to look ahead to No. 9 USC next week and the eventual road trip to Clemson, but first, the No. 25 Louisville Cardinals. Louisville is in their first season under

José Sánchez Córdova, Assistant Managing Editor I think Louisville’s No. 25 ranking is more of a mirage than proof of their excellence. They have played some pretty mediocre, if not flat-out bad, competition and, for the most part, haven’t been blowing people out. I expect Notre Dame to go into L&N Stadium and have a

When Sam Hartman arrived at Notre Dame as a graduate transfer from Wake Forest, there was little doubt surrounding him. It’s hard not to have faith in one of the most decorated passers in the history of the ACC. But his presence alone wasn’t enough to guarantee a high-end Irish passing attack. It wasn’t because

Irish fans, it’s time to rip the Band-Aid off. The wound of Notre Dame football’s walk-off loss to Ohio State may still be fresh for some of you, but the time has come to evaluate. In examining Notre Dame’s offense, which scored 14 points and left up to 17 on the board, plenty of good

They stood in scattered, stunned silence, green the appropriate color to describe the feeling shared by the 80,000+ draped in green on another storied Saturday. This Notre Dame football program has seen just about everything before — but the somber feelings were as fresh as ever. There’s no quantitative way to measure pain. Maybe the

Sam Hartman will be the first one to tell you he’s not the star of Notre Dame’s 4-0 start to the 2023 season. In fact, he’d probably insist on it. Every time the graduate student quarterback has faced the cameras this fall, he’s found new people to credit when asked about his success. Following his

In past seasons, Notre Dame was dependent on upperclassmen to carry their passing game. On Saturday, a trio of underclassmen wide receivers delivered in an exciting way that could translate into Notre Dame’s highly anticipated matchup with Ohio State. It’s not that Notre Dame hasn’t produced quality wide receivers in recent memory. In fact, the

Notre Dame moved to 4-0 Saturday with a 41-17 win over Central Michigan. The Irish struggled to find consistency but eventually pulled away with a strong second half. Here’s how it happened. 1. Irish offense starts strong On the opening drive for the Irish, junior running back Audric Estime got things rolling with an eight-yard run,

José Sánchez Córdova, Assistant Managing Editor I expect the Irish to look fairly comfortable against the Chippewas this weekend. Central Michigan’s biggest weapon is quarterback Bert Emanuel Jr., but I believe Notre Dame will limit his mobility and force him to win from the pocket. I think this will lead to another big day for
