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

Early in the first quarter, Irish legend Tim Brown appeared on the new video board at Notre Dame Stadium and gave three keys for winning. The second was “control the time of possession.” By that standard, Notre Dame’s season-opener was a failure. The Irish held the ball for 26:11. The Owls had possession for over

Just a few days before the season opener, Temple finds itself in a similar position to the one Notre Dame was in this time last year — in the midst of a struggle for the quarterback position. However, there is an added layer of interest for the Owls, as it is head coach Geoff Collins’ first

Ordinarily, not much can be expected in summer recruiting when a team comes off a 4-8 season. Yet the Irish bolstered the recruiting class of 2018 with a series of major recruits over the summer. In a two-week period between late July and early August, the Irish saw a flurry of top linebacker commitments. Three-star

Notre Dame began its season with a pair of four-win weekends, as both the men’s and women’s team worked their way to a 4-1 record at the Elite Invitational this past Saturday. In a full day of duals at Penn’s Dave Micahnik Fencing Center, the combined Irish program squared off against seven teams. The men’s

Early in the fourth quarter of No. 8 Notre Dame’s 24-20 win over No. 23 Temple on Saturday, safety Elijah Shumate was ejected from the contest for targeting, meaning the senior will miss the first half of this Saturday’s matchup at Pittsburgh — a penalty Irish head coach Brian Kelly said was irreversible. “There is no appeal process,” Kelly

PHILADELPHIA — For a minute there — actually, two minutes and 36 seconds — it looked grim for No. 9 Notre Dame at Lincoln Financial Field. It looked grim for Notre Dame’s playoff résumé, for Will Fuller and Mike McGlinchey’s Philadelphia homecoming, for the large and loud collection of Irish fans gathered among Saturday’s sellout

PHILADELPHIA — Plagued by injuries, slow starts and surprisingly game opponents, No. 9 Notre Dame has had its fair share of setbacks this season. Saturday night against Temple was no different. Twice in the second quarter, the Irish marched down the field into the Owls red zone. Twice sophomore quarterback DeShone Kizer threw interceptions. The

PHILADELPHIA — Barely, just barely, Notre Dame kept its playoff hopes alive against Temple this Saturday with a 24-20 win at Lincoln Financial Field. Its national title hopes, on the other hand, took another hit. The Irish may sit at 7-1. They may be ranked eighth in the nation, with many of the teams ahead
