Larger than life: Jay Hayes brings senior leadership to table for Irish

Elizabeth Greason | Friday, October 27, 2017

Jay Hayes doesn’t stop smiling. But the senior defensive lineman’s, and his self-described “big personality,” road to the top wasn’t always an easy one. Hayes came to football through his best friend after the death of his father when he was 11 years old. “I ended up playing football just from my best friend,” Hayes

Irish overcome injuries and adversity to reach Fiesta Bowl

Zach Klonsinski | Friday, May 13, 2016

In the end, it was all just too much for Notre Dame — too many injuries, too much rain, too many seconds and too much Ezekiel Elliot. Through all the adversity, however, the Irish managed to put together their best season since their 2012 national championship run and just their second 10-win season since 2006.

Alex Carson | Friday, April 15, 2016

Notre Dame returns just four offensive and five defensive starters from its 10-2 team a season ago. There’s no Will Fuller or C.J. Prosise; no Ronnie Stanley or Sheldon Day; no Jaylon Smith or KeiVarae Russell. Yet when the Irish kick off their 2016 campaign in Austin, Texas, on Sept. 4, the goal will be the same

Depleted Irish reach breaking point in Fiesta Bowl loss to Ohio State

Mary Green | Friday, January 1, 2016

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Despite all the injuries dealt to Notre Dame this season, the team had either still emerged victorious in 10 of its matchups or had been pushed to the edge, against Clemson and Stanford, and come up short by the smallest of margins. But when the No. 8 Irish faced No. 7 Ohio State

Ezekiel Elliott, J.T. Barrett run wild against Notre Dame defense

Greg Hadley | Friday, January 1, 2016

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Every time it looked as though No. 8 Notre Dame’s offense had played the Irish back into the Fiesta Bowl on Friday, No. 7 Ohio State would respond with two seemingly unstoppable forces: junior running back Ezekiel Elliott and sophomore quarterback J.T. Barrett. The pair of Buckeyes sidestepped, stiff-armed and ran right

Green: New assistants play crucial part in breakout seasons

Mary Green | Friday, November 20, 2015

We’ve talked enough about Notre Dame’s “breakout players” of 2015. You might say it’s impossible to talk too much about players like DeShone Kizer, who had a lock on the third-string quarterback slot just six months ago, C.J. Prosise, whose emergence in the backfield has made him one of Notre Dame’s most invaluable assets, or
