In recent years, Texas has not been a good place for Notre Dame football. On a gloomy, overcast day in Arlington, the atmosphere inside AT&T Stadium was just as bleak as that outside of it, with No. 4 Notre Dame struggling from the opening kickoff in a 31-14 loss to No. 1 Alabama in the

Consider this column an attempt at catharsis, a medium for venting about my Notre Dame football angst. Inspired by Pete Sampson and other writers for The Athletic who do “Final Thoughts” pieces, I present an assortment of my own thoughts — 12 of them, both for 12 days of Christmas during the holiday season and

Aaron Banks had anything but a conventional high school football career. The senior guard from Alameda, California, stands at nearly 6-foot-6 and 330 pounds, no welcoming sight to any opposing defender despite what his smile might convince you in his UND.com player profile. The starting right guard for Notre Dame causes problems for whoever lines

Over his career for one of college football’s most historic programs, Notre Dame graduate student quarterback Ian Book has amassed 9,998 total yards and 88 total touchdowns — all while throwing just 19 interceptions — but another number dominated the discourse before, during and after the Irish’s senior-day victory over Syracuse. With the 45-21 win

It definitely was not a perfect performance, but No. 2-ranked Notre Dame (10-0, 9-0 ACC) was able to beat Syracuse (1-10, 1-10 ACC) by a score of 45-21 on senior day to complete a perfect regular season, the third of head coach Brian Kelly’s tenure in South Bend. Kelly talked about what Saturday’s win means

“ND Kyren Williams I see you hit em with ‘The Silencer’ to close out this game!” A year ago, Kyren Williams was essentially unknown. Now he’s getting tweeted at by LeBron James. A four-star commit from St. Louis, Williams appeared in four games for the Irish last season, showing some promise but joining a long

Since Ian Book couldn’t go home for Thanksgiving this year, he played Turkey Bowl* football last night, leading No. 2 Notre Dame to a 31-17 victory over No. 19 North Carolina. Book, who went 23 for 33 (70%) passing, played with an offensive flair reminiscent of schoolyard two-hand touch, with pitches and scrambles that made

When asked whether he was more worried about facing off against Notre Dame’s offense or defense, North Carolina head coach Mack Brown responded, “Yes. I’m concerned about both.” The Tar Heels are sitting at 6-2 on the year and are essentially out of playoff contention. They are coming into this game with absolutely nothing to

This game seemed to have every element needed to make a trap game for the Irish (8-0, 7-0 ACC). The Eagles (5-4, 4-4 ACC) would be wearing their “Red Bandana” jerseys to
