Navy head coach Ken Niumatalolo appeared a bit tired as he started his press conference on Monday, fumbling his words and swiping away stray eyelashes as he began to describe his upcoming opponent in Notre Dame. It was hard not to look at the somewhat comical first few moments of the interview as an analogy

For the second consecutive week, the No. 11-ranked Irish reigned victorious in a night game at Notre Dame Stadium. This time it was against the UNC Tar Heels by a score of 44-34.

Listening to senior safety DJ Brown talk with the press ahead of UNC, one could have easily mistaken the Annapolis, Maryland product as a seasoned starter. It was not obvious that Brown, and his role on this team, have undergone some massive changes in the past week, as All-American junior safety Kyle Hamilton went down

Before transferring to Notre Dame this year, Coan led the Badgers to a Rose Bowl berth in 2019. He was likely slated for the starting role

Colin Capece — Assistant Managing Editor It was refreshing last week to actually be able to breathe in the fourth quarter, as the Irish took control of the game down the stretch against a quality power-five opponent. We saw a more focused and unrelenting Irish offense that kept their foot on the gas when they

The Irish were in for a battle against Purdue from the very beginning of the game on Saturday. The matchup went on to be one filled with statement plays rather than steady progression on either side. The Irish didn’t have a scoring drive for the entirety of the first quarter. Graduate student quarterback Jack Coan
