The date was Nov. 25, 2017. The scene was Notre Dame versus Stanford in Palo Alto, California. The time was 1:23 left in the third quarter. Notre Dame’s Justin Yoon had just kicked a field goal to put the Irish ahead 20-17, and the Irish went back on defense — one quarter away from a

Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly addressed many of the looming questions heading into the team’s matchup against Stanford on Saturday in Thursday’s press conference, most notably, the quarterback question. “We’ve prepared both quarterbacks,” Kelly said of senior Brandon Wimbush and junior Ian Book. “They’re both ready to play and you know, we think that

STANFORD, Calif. — I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed. If you had told me at the start of the season I would be disappointed in a team with a 9-3 record, I don’t know that I would have believed you. In fact, I predicted this team would finish the season 9-3 at the start of the

STANFORD, Calif. — Things were looking good for the Irish there for a minute. And then everything fell apart. Take your pick of the plays that actually marked the end for Notre Dame (9-3) in its 38-20 loss to Stanford. There was the first of junior quarterback Brandon Wimbush’s two interceptions.

I wanted to write this column two weeks ago before Notre Dame faced Miami. I hope I don’t have the opportunity to write it again. Before the Irish (9-2) played the Hurricanes, just about every flaw you could point to in post-2012 Notre Dame football looked to have been answered. In the first few games

Cardinal Passing The Cardinal passing attack has struggled this season, regardless of whether Keller Chryst or K.J. Costello has started under center. They have totaled under 200 yards per game through the air and just 14 passing touchdowns, although Costello has been far more accurate with a 60.7 percent completion percentage. However, Stanford does bring
