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

The famed frieze of Yankee Stadium was adorned with Notre Dame and Shamrock Series flags that fluttered calmly throughout the game, as if they, like Irish head coach Brian Kelly, were confident Notre Dame would walk away with a win. An easy, 36-3 one at that. “We were able to do some things offensively that

“I am proud of the fact that I can do what I do every day. A lot of people think it may be football related or academically you have achieved a lot. It is not really that for me. The proudest thing to me is that I can know that every day I wake up,

Irish head coach Brian Kelly met with media Tuesday to discuss the state of the team as it heads into this week’s road matchup with perennial opponent Navy in San Diego and the progress he feels the squad has made over the course of the season. Kelly said the Navy offense has really come into

Despite trailing Pittsburgh for much of the game, No. 5 Notre Dame scored on a long drive late in the fourth quarter to take the lead and keep its undefeated record and playoff hopes alive. Few matchups will ever match the 2012 triple overtime when the Panthers (3-4, 2-1 ACC) took on the undefeated Irish,

Amid a tumultuous first two weeks of Notre Dame’s football season, with uncertainty prevalent and a number of questions still unanswered, perhaps no unit has encompassed this more than the Irish special teams. The ups and downs began Week 1 when, despite claiming an important victory against a Michigan team that was expected by many

It was never easy, but No. 8 Notre Dame was able to get a win this weekend. The Irish overcame miscues and fended off a difficult challenge from Ball State on Saturday afternoon, outlasting the visiting Cardinals (1-1) by a score of 24-16.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Leading up to No. 14 Notre Dame’s matchup with No. 17 LSU in the Citrus Bowl, there were comparisons to the 2014 Music City Bowl. Notre Dame (10-3) was playing the same team — LSU (9-4, 6-2 SEC) — on the heels of a disappointing end to a promising season. And just

Twenty-nine. It’s the number of points junior kicker Justin Yoon needs to displace Kyle Brindza at the top of the list of Notre Dame’s all-time leading scorers. Yoon currently sits at 260 points scored in an Irish jersey, behind Brindza’s 288. “That would be awesome [to be Notre Dame’s top scorer],” Yoon said. “I haven’t
