There were two things that went into Josh Lugg’s decision to return to Notre Dame for a sixth year in 2022. First, there was the practical side of it. Lugg felt he needed more development before pursuing his NFL dream. The return of universally regarded offensive line coach Harry Hiestand, who recruited and coached Lugg

Despite being 3-7, Georgia Tech had lost just one game by more than 11 points this season. Ahead of Saturday’s clash, head coach Geoff Collins noted that the Yellow Jackets had had chances to win in the final minutes of all but one game. Make that two. Notre Dame came out needing to dominate and

Patience and progression. This is the best word pairing to describe graduate student Josh Lugg’s Notre Dame career. It’s been a long journey for Lugg, but his hard work and perseverance have finally paid off in his fifth season with the Irish.

The Irish offensive line has been one of the major issues for Notre Dame so far this season. This was surprising in some ways because last year’s offensive line was one of the best in the country.

At top college football programs, even highly-touted recruits are often forced to wait their turn to contribute on the field, never mind start. Senior offensive lineman Josh Lugg, ESPN’s 15th-ranked offensive tackle and 156th overall recruit in 2017, had to come to terms with this reality early in his college career. In a press conference

Over his career for one of college football’s most historic programs, Notre Dame graduate student quarterback Ian Book has amassed 9,998 total yards and 88 total touchdowns — all while throwing just 19 interceptions — but another number dominated the discourse before, during and after the Irish’s senior-day victory over Syracuse. With the 45-21 win

Since Ian Book couldn’t go home for Thanksgiving this year, he played Turkey Bowl* football last night, leading No. 2 Notre Dame to a 31-17 victory over No. 19 North Carolina. Book, who went 23 for 33 (70%) passing, played with an offensive flair reminiscent of schoolyard two-hand touch, with pitches and scrambles that made

Sports Illustrated just recently named Notre Dame the new “Offensive Line U.” The offensive line in 2020 figures to live up to this name, as there is plenty of talent and experience across the board. All of the starters from the 2019 season are returning, and if they can stay healthy, this unit could continue
