Waves have already been made ahead of Saturday’s top ten matchup. Cincinnati quarterback Desmond Ridder, the leader of Notre Dame’s opposition this weekend, may have given the Irish just what they needed to come out on top. Who needs the “Play Like a Champion Today” sign when you have an image of a cartoon character

The Irish were in for a battle against Purdue from the very beginning of the game on Saturday. The matchup went on to be one filled with statement plays rather than steady progression on either side. The Irish didn’t have a scoring drive for the entirety of the first quarter. Graduate student quarterback Jack Coan

The Irish (2-0) had yet another nail-biting win Saturday afternoon in their home opener against the Toledo Rockets (1-1, 0-0 MAC). In a game that went back and forth throughout, Notre Dame was ultimately able to prevail by a score of 32-29 to avoid an upset. It looked as though the Irish were set to

Graduate student Jonathan Doerer was the hero for Notre Dame last Sunday in Tallahassee by making a 41-yard field goal in overtime to give the Irish a thrilling 41-38 victory over Florida State. This year will be Doerer’s third season as the placekicker for the Irish, and he looks set to have a very successful

Tallahassee may be the state capital of Florida, but FSU is the capital of Tallahassee. From the moment we landed in Charlotte, there were hoards of passengers piling onto flights, decked out in their Seminole gear. They wanted it known: They would be there at 7:30 p.m. Sunday night, and they meant business. The small

Special teams is a very underrated yet extremely important factor in any team’s success, as dozens of games each year hinge on field goals or PATS, kickoff returns, punt blocks, and a variety of other special teams plays. Luckily for Notre Dame, they’ll see most of their major contributors return to the special teams unit

While Ian Book was busy getting drafted in the fourth round of the NFL Draft by the New Orleans Saints, his Notre Dame Fighting Irish took the field for their spring game, as the Irish faithful got their first look at what the quarterback position could look like after the Book era, which ended with

Jonathan Doerer is taking everything in stride. He’s approaching it in a similar way to how he does his on-field duties — minus the deep breaths, visualization and four twists of his arm that make up his pre-kick ritual. His time with the Irish has been a journey, one in which the current result was

It definitely was not a perfect performance, but No. 2-ranked Notre Dame (10-0, 9-0 ACC) was able to beat Syracuse (1-10, 1-10 ACC) by a score of 45-21 on senior day to complete a perfect regular season, the third of head coach Brian Kelly’s tenure in South Bend. Kelly talked about what Saturday’s win means

As fun as this rendition of the “Holy War” was, there is one part of this team that has concerned me all year and has once again failed to provide me much relief. Brian Polian’s special teams unit this year has been more inconsistent than any other group by far. There have been plenty of
