With the Blue and Gold game taking place this weekend, it is time to take our first official look at the Irish offense for the 2021 season. There were a lot of key departures, particularly at the quarterback, wide receiver and offensive line positions. But the Irish return key playmakers at running back and tight

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

Following Notre Dame’s 40-7 win over Boston College, capping off an undefeated regular season at home, head coach Brian Kelly addressed the media in a phone conference Sunday. In addition to the win over the Eagles, Kelly discussed the state of injuries for the program, goals for the team going forward and how different players

Jafar Armstrong has had to wait his turn. Last season, he received double-digit carries in each of the first three games, but as Dexter Williams took a firm grip on the starter role his utilization dwindled. Still, he proved a capable backup to Williams, averaging over five yards per carry in four of the team’s

Three minutes and 22 seconds. That’s how much time was left on the clock Saturday evening when No. 15 Notre Dame trailed Virginia Tech 20-14 at home. That’s how much time Notre Dame’s offense had to put together a go-ahead and possibly game-winning 87-yard touchdown drive. That’s how much time senior quarterback Ian Book had

Following No. 15 Notre Dame’s 21-20 victory over Virginia Tech at home on Saturday, Irish (6-2) head coach Brian Kelly addressed the media in his weekly Sunday teleconference to recap the game. Kelly addressed the injury sustained by junior right tackle Robert Hainsey during the victory, saying that Hainsey will have surgery Thursday. He also

Last week against Michigan, the Notre Dame offensive line was, to put it bluntly, horrible. The unit lost senior offensive lineman Tommy Kraemer early in the first quarter to a season-ending injury, and they didn’t look the same afterwards. All in all, a poorly played contest for the Irish. Heading into this week, Kraemer was
