WatchND highlights: Would you like to know how many current Duke upperclassmen were ranked in the top 600 by the 247Sports composite rankings coming out of high school? One. Trevon Lee was ranked #431 coming out of high school. Trevon Lee has played 24 snaps for Duke, and none of them came today. Less than [...]
WatchND highlights: Michigan State had 501 yards of offense today against Notre Dame. That's the most MSU has gained against ND in 60 years. @chrissolari The 501 total offensive yards are the most by Michigan State vs Notre Dame since Oct. 20, 1956 when it had 521. #MSUvsND — B Tripi (@btripi) September 18, 2016 [...]
A very wise man once said, "You can either run from your past, or learn from it." Alright, fine. It was Rafiki in The Lion King. But it still applies to Notre Dame, and the Irish performed far better in week two than in week one, downing Nevada 39-10. It remains to be seen whether [...]
I'm going to try to make sense of this game, but it's hard to find new words. Last season I wrote instant reactions over at our old site, and twice I found myself trying to figure out what to say after an absolute heartbreaker of a loss. Today we got another one. Say what you [...]

Jones will be allowed to practice with the team, but not play. Jones, a huge recruit in ND's 2015 class, started five games last year and caught 13 passes for 190 yards. However, [...]
In early June, the Big 12 Conference announced it will play a conference title game again starting in the 2017 season. This move had been suspected ever since the NCAA voted in early 2015 to allow leagues with under 12 teams to stage league championship games. The move wasn't surprising given what happened the first two [...]
Notre Dame fans, especially scheduling buffs like myself, are already very familiar with the recent chatter that the Notre Dame/Michigan football series, left for dead as recently as 2014 when ND won the final scheduled game 37-0 (#RememberThe6), looks to be on its way back. Both sides have expressed interest in scheduling a future series, [...]
