As expected, Notre Dame needed to score 40 points to beat USC and just couldn't get there. On Saturday night, the Trojans alternated between whirling Caleb Williams plays and a calm sense of confidence in their execution to beat the Fighting Irish. By the mid-3rd quarter, USC led 24-7 and it would be too big [...]
Some thoughts after Notre Dame ensured a USC Heisman Trophy for the 4th time in the last 20 years: One thing matters the next 8 months All that matters from here to August is getting a QB. Any QB. It has to be done. ND can't win like this, not at the level it needs [...]

Notre Dame added a critical piece to its 2023 class today when four-star quarterback Kenny Minchey flipped from Pitt to the Irish.

[...]

At one point during Saturday's 44-0 obliteration of Boston College, the NBC broadcast crew mentioned that Marcus Freeman grew almost angry when discussing ND's tendency to play down to its worst opponents.

At long last, Senior Day. A bit of shine has come off this matchup considering BC's unresolved QB situation and all-around horrid season. Nonetheless, the Eagles are coming off a shocking upset win over #16 NC State and a team that looked dead and buried three weeks ago has a faint pulse. Can Marcus Freeman [...]
