Between a string of close games and an unexpected late season coaching change, the 2021 Notre Dame football season had its fair share of ups and downs. Despite the obstacles the team faced, however, the Irish still managed to post an 11-2 record and make a New Year’s Six game. Irish survive early nailbiters The

The Fiesta Bowl was nothing short of a test for the Irish. It tested a defense, and more specifically a secondary, without Kyle Hamilton. It tested a Chris Tyree-led running back room. It tested Tommy Rees and his unbridled offensive play calling. And it set the tone as the Irish stepped into the Marcus Freeman

On a truly wild day in the college football world, Notre Dame made the trek out to the west coast to cap off their regular season.

After the 12-7 Irish win over Louisville, wide receivers junior Kevin Austin and graduate student Ben Skowronek topped the target list Saturday for graduate student quarterback Ian Book. The pair each had two targets, with one and two receptions, respectively. These were their first receptions of the season, as they are both coming off injuries.

Last Tuesday Notre Dame football head coach Brian Kelly fielded questions from the press via a Zoom call. Then a little less than two weeks away from the upcoming season opener against Duke, he sounded confident after his squad had gotten some live reps inside of Notre Dame Stadium. He was particularly thrilled about seeing
