Recruiting is the cornerstone of a successful college football program. Each of the last eight national champions have averaged a top-10 recruiting class in the four years prior to winning, so the Irish must be at this level to keep themselves in the elite tier. Brian Driskell, recruiting analyst for Blue and Gold Illustrated, spoke

Taking on No. 12 Syracuse at Yankee Stadium on Saturday, No. 3 Notre Dame delivered an absolute smackdown, shutting out the Orange (8-3, 5-2 ACC) until the final seconds when a field goal finally put them on the board. However, that dominance was not without its stains, most notably, the season-high seven penalties the Irish

If nothing else, when the No. 3 Irish take on the No. 12 Orange on Saturday, the game will provide a unique experience for all involved. The matchup between Notre Dame (10-0) and Syracuse (8-2, 5-2 ACC) will be a high-stakes game for both squads in the renewal of Notre Dame’s signature Shamrock Series, in

After a disastrous 2016 campaign, the 2017 turnaround started up front in the trenches for Notre Dame.

Earlier this week, Georgia head coach Kirby Smart referred to the Irish offensive line as “as good looking of an O-line as you’ll play ever.” After leading the Irish (1-0) to 422 rushing yards against Temple on Saturday, one of the best offensive lines in the country is hoping to keep up the strong performance against

Irish head coach Brian Kelly discussed his team’s depth and health, as well as his former quarterback Deshone Kizer in his Sunday teleconference following Notre Dame’s 49-16 victory over Temple. The Irish rotated between two right tackles — sophomore Tommy Kraemer and freshman Robert Hainsey — in the season-opening win. And although Hainsey was called

Grit. Attitude. Attention to detail. The traits head coach Brian Kelly and his staff have harped on throughout the offseason began to appear during Notre Dame’s 49-16 win over Temple Saturday afternoon, but they shone through in one particular area of the field: the trenches. Notre Dame’s offensive and defensive lines were arguably the difference

Saturday’s practice marked the fifth session of spring ball for Notre Dame. And it was a long one. The Irish went for about two hours and fifteen minutes, starting inside Loftus Sports Complex with position drills and then moving to LaBar Practice Fields for more drills and a live scrimmage. Over the course of the
