First, the good news. Notre Dame has had some surprise contributions so far this year that paired with strong play from the veterans can make for an excellent team! The bad news is the veterans are the ones who need ...
Through two games, on 3rd down runs between 1-3 yards, Notre Dame has eight carries for -3 yards, with a long of one, and zero first downs. 8 carries. -3 yards. 0 first downs. So Notre Dame in short yardage. ...
Earlier today I graded the offense, rather harshly, and now will be the defense, plus I’m going in on the Sky Cam. Judging how the defense played against such a bad opponent is tough because every positive play from New ...
So to be clear, 59 offensive points is excellent. I’m not just going to ignore the offense scoring eight touchdowns in a football game, against whoever. It doesn’t happen very often, and it’s a good thing. Some of the grades ...
Can we take anything away for the game this weekend against New Mexico? I’ve heard that question asked a bunch of times this week, either in podcasts or on Twitter. The answer is most often no, we can’t. New Mexico ...

I saw a tweet yesterday that I thought perfectly captured the moment for Notre Dame football fans. Feels like Christmas but I can’t open my presents until all the family is here on Monday. — Bridget (@bridgetgoirish) August 31, 2019 ...
It’s been said that parents can’t pick between their kids, which is true in a Sophie’s Choice kind of way but isn’t true in an “I secretly really like the oldest” kind of way. Most fans will say they can’t ...
If you haven’t yet read the offensive version of this, then do it right now. Not just because all of the things detailed within are 100% going to happen, but it gives a good little primer to what I’m doing ...
Tim Prister of Irish Illustrated is reporting today that sophomore wide receiver Kevin Austin will miss the 2019 season entirely. He is expected to remain enrolled at Notre Dame. This renders an already depleted receiving corps further depleted as Austin ...
Are you ready for some hot takes? Let’s do some takes. Let’s be honest, we all have our guesses; some are educated, and some are hunches based on nothing in particular, but we’ve all got them. I’m going to put ...
The 2019 Notre Dame football team has broken fall camp and is now in full preparation for their first opponent. The Irish held their annual media day on Wednesday with all of the Irish coaches taking their turn at the ...
