After watching Notre Dame have to grind out a victory against Duke last Saturday, with the Blue Devils keeping it a game for three quarters before the Irish pulled away in the fourth, I had disturbing flashbacks to the 2019 season. While last Saturday turned out to be a beautiful fall day for college football

Surprise! Notre Dame football had another disappointing season opener this year! If nothing else, at least the Irish are consistent. Did you miss me? Your resident football beat pessimist has returned. And after Saturday’s showing, I can’t say that my cynicism is misplaced. In all seriousness, my sister yelled at me this morning for being

Notre Dame football head coach Brian Kelly and men’s basketball announcer Jack Nolan returned Thursday night for the season premiere of “The Brian Kelly Show.” The format has changed from last season with the duo hosting remotely and without their customary live audience in the new Irish practice facility.

At the risk of making a premature declaration one game into the season, it’s time to welcome Kyren Williams to the big leagues. One-hundred-twelve rushing yards, 93 receiving yards and two touchdowns on a day when the Irish offense struggled to find its mojo for much of the game, Williams was their answer time and

It was a historic day for Notre Dame football. They extended their home win streak to 19 games, the longest run since 1990, with a win over Duke, and in doing so locked up their first-ever conference win. Notre Dame (1-0, 1-0 ACC) is now the winningest team in ACC history percentage-wise after having joined

Watching Notre Dame’s season opener against Duke, I could really feel myself channeling the spirit of my predecessor as sports editor, Connor Mulvena. Mr. Mulvena was relentless in his criticism of Ian Book, and while I am a persistent optimist when it comes to my teams, I have to say I was getting really frustrated.

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

There is a lot of excitement around the running back position ahead of the 2020 football season. There is plenty of talent returning from 2019, and the Irish will also welcome one of their most highly touted running back recruits in recent memory as they look to improve on a relatively disappointing performance on the
