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

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — When No. 21 Notre Dame made the decision to start sophomore Ian Book at quarterback against North Carolina in place of the injured Brandon Wimbush, it knew the offense was probably going to look a little different. And in some ways it did; but in some ways, it did not. The differences were apparent:

After back-to-back weeks on the road, Saturday’s game against Miami (OH) will be Notre Dame’s first game back at home.

SAN ANTONIO — Notre Dame has made a habit of quick starts this season; when sophomore receiver C.J. Sanders took the opening kickoff to the house Saturday, it marked the ninth time in 10 contests that Notre Dame had scored the game’s first points. But unlike the monotonous pattern that had developed this season, where

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Notre Dame’s season has often been defined by quick strikes — long passes completed by the Irish offense, or long passes allowed by a beleaguered defense. In the 28-27 loss to Navy on Saturday in Jacksonville, though, it was slow, slogging drives by the Midshipmen that did the Irish in. Notre Dame (3-6)

On an unseasonably warm day at Notre Dame Stadium, the Irish were able to come away with the 30-27 win over Miami after late game heroics from sophomores running back Josh Adams and kicker Justin Yoon. Miami (4-4, 1-3 ACC) controlled the middle of the game, scoring 27 unanswered points, but Notre Dame (3-5) came up

After a promising first half, the Irish dropped their fifth game of the season, 17-10 to Stanford, failing to put any points on the board after halftime. A series of lucky breaks in the first half allowed the Irish (2-5) to jump out to a 10-0 lead. The Cardinal (4-2) dominated on time of possession

RALEIGH, N.C. — Coaches and analysts love to discuss the importance of special teams. But it’s rare that the units have more of a direct impact on a game than Notre Dame and North Carolina State’s did Saturday at Carter-Finley Stadium. Amidst heavy rain and high winds that lasted the entire game, played on the edges of
