After opening the year as the No. 12 team in the country, Notre Dame — and its starting quarterback — began the season with high expectations. Questions were raised after senior quarterback Brandon Wimbush, despite leading the Irish to nine of their 10 wins in 2017, struggled toward the end of the season as the

Six former Notre Dame players were selected over the seven rounds of the 2019 NFL Draft this past weekend. Five other Irish players who did not hear their names called have signed with or been invited to try out for teams within the league, while a handful of other Irish players are still awaiting offers

Although Notre Dame’s national championship dreams were dashed in the College Football Playoff Semifinal to eventual-national champion Clemson, the Irish are placing their hopes in a bright future. After picking up one final commitment from four-star defensive end Isaiah Foksey on National Signing Day, the Irish put together yet another top-15 recruiting class — their

Notre Dame will have to replace early departures from the team on both sides of the ball next season, as junior cornerback Julian Love and senior tight end Alizé Mack both announced Friday that they will forgo their remaining year of eligibility and declare for the 2019 NFL Draft.

ARLINGTON, Texas — One of the oldest sayings in football is that the game is won or lost in the trenches. And while the sentiment still rings true in many respects, on Saturday afternoon inside AT&T Stadium, and throughout Clemson’s 30-3 win over Notre Dame, the real difference between the Tigers (14-0, 8-0 ACC) and

ARLINGTON, Texas — Graduate student linebacker Drue Tranquill removed his helmet to reveal his tear-streaked eye black and took a knee on the sideline as the Tiger Band transitioned from the Clemson fight song to “Celebrate Good Times.” Senior linebacker Robert Regan and graduate student tight end Nic Weishar came over and offered hugs and pats

Notre Dame has done it. The famed, historic program will be making its first trip to the College Football Playoff since its inception in 2014, as No. 3 Notre Dame (12-0) officially punched its ticket to Dallas on Sunday for the 2019 Cotton Bowl against No. 2 Clemson. The last time the Irish achieved a

It wasn’t always pretty. For every blowout win over Virginia Tech on the road there was a dropped pass on 4th down by Vanderbilt that nearly set the Irish on the path toward another sub-par season. Yet, just over four months later, the Irish have earned themselves a ticket to the College Football Playoff, having

The Irish defense didn’t look like the dominant unit we’ve seen all year in the first half on a cool Saturday night at the Coliseum. It didn’t look like the aggressive front seven we’d seen against Stanford or the lockdown secondary we’d seen against Syracuse. It even made a 5-6 USC team with questions surrounding

As the stakes rise with each Irish win, the parallels between this season and the last two times Notre Dame was undefeated in the regular season are interesting. The 1988 team opened its season with a nail-biting win over Michigan, but went on to dominate its schedule — beating four of the eventual top-seven teams
