The Irish hit the road Saturday night to face the Virginia Tech Hokies in front of a crazy loud crowd at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Virginia where they escaped with a 32-29 win in thrilling, comeback fashion. It was a slow start for the Irish with graduate student quarterback Jack Coan not able to spark

Junior running back Kyren Williams is at the heart and soul of this year’s Notre Dame football team and that was on full display in Saturday’s 32-29 victory over Virginia Tech. Williams finished the game with a rushing and receiving touchdown and had 74 yards on the ground off 19 carries and 26 receiving yards.

This weekend sucked. I will not lie about that. To be a student on campus when the home streak broke was not easy. Although, I’m sure it couldn’t have been easy to be a player or even a coach. I just don’t know that the team was fully prepared to face a team like Cincinnati

In the 2020 regular season, sophomore quarterback Drew Pyne, a true freshman at the time, served as the backup for three-year starter Ian Book. Throughout the regular season, he attempted – and completed – just one pass for five yards. But in the Rose Bowl against Alabama, Book briefly went down with an injury and

This marked Notre Dame’s first home game loss since 2017, resetting a 26-win clock and demonstrating the Irish’s dire need for continuity on both sides of the ball.

For anyone who has said that defense doesn’t win big games in reference to Notre Dame football: I give you the 2021 Shamrock Series. This current defense could run circles around the Irish defense from week one. I mean, twice now we’ve seen the Irish head into a game that should’ve been the closest game

Graduate student quarterback Jack Coan has certainly not had the traditional experience of a Notre Dame quarterback. Between transferring in for his final year of eligibility, battling it out among two other contenders for the top spot and ultimately sharing field time with a true freshman, Coan’s journey has been one of uncertainty and, in

The Irish may have come away with a win on Saturday at home against an in-state rival, but their hardest work of the year still lies ahead of them. Although it was their most dominating performance of the season, the Boilermakers still gave the Irish a run for their money at the end of the

The Irish were in for a battle against Purdue from the very beginning of the game on Saturday. The matchup went on to be one filled with statement plays rather than steady progression on either side. The Irish didn’t have a scoring drive for the entirety of the first quarter. Graduate student quarterback Jack Coan
