Given the defensive struggles for both Notre Dame and Syracuse entering Saturday’s contest at MetLife Stadium, many expected their game to turn into a shootout. But few people probably expected the shootout to begin as quickly as it did. The Irish (2-3) started off the first-half fireworks with a quick strike up the middle of

After a sloppy first quarter, No. 18 Notre Dame turned the tide Saturday at Notre Dame Stadium, taking down Nevada in its home opener, 39-10, after a short week of preparation. In that first quarter, Notre Dame picked up five penalties costing the team 50 yards, failing to gather momentum offensively; the Irish punted the ball twice in a

AUSTIN, Texas — Despite trailing 31-14 early in the third quarter, the win was right there for No. 10 Notre Dame. One more score, one more stop, one more big play. That’s all the Irish needed to avoid an upset loss on the opening night of their season. But instead of the Irish getting that

With all eyes on Malik Zaire and DeShone Kizer, it was senior punter Tyler Newsome who had a busy day as both offenses struggled to put points on the board in Notre Dame’s Blue-Gold Game. The final score was 17-7 in favor of the Blue squad, led by Kizer, but more important than the final

BOSTON — No. 4 Notre Dame faced Boston College in a game held at Fenway Park on Saturday night, the first time football has been played in the shadow of the Green Monster since 1968. And yet, that wasn’t even close to the strangest part of the 19-16 Irish win. The Irish (10-1) turned the

PHILADELPHIA — For a minute there — actually, two minutes and 36 seconds — it looked grim for No. 9 Notre Dame at Lincoln Financial Field. It looked grim for Notre Dame’s playoff résumé, for Will Fuller and Mike McGlinchey’s Philadelphia homecoming, for the large and loud collection of Irish fans gathered among Saturday’s sellout

Notre Dame needed to win this one, and not just to keep its slim hopes of making the College Football Playoff alive. On home turf under the lights in prime time, playing against not just any rival, but the biggest rival that was also reeling after a coaching fiasco in the week leading up to it,

Notre Dame’s offense totaled 459 total yards on Saturday, leading the way in its 41-24 victory over Navy. While the defense came out of the gate slow against the difficult triple-option scheme of the Midshipmen (4-1, 2-0 AAC), the offense of the No. 15 Irish (5-1) picked up the slack until the second half, when the rounded team
