When was the last really good-to-great season from Notre Dame receivers? Notre Dame went into 2025 with 5 straight seasons without a 1,000-yard receiver and I don't think many Irish fans would've bet that milestone would be surpassed by anyone during the pre-season. Spoiler alert, it did not. But, did Notre Dame rely on its [...]

The cornerback room had quite the season in 2025 full of some incredibly high moments and frustrating stretches that we wish could've been avoided. In some ways, it was a season of chaos led by a veteran who played the most snaps. In other ways, it was yet another strong performance from the cornerback position [...]

Former Notre Dame head football coach Lou Holtz passed away on March 4th just under 2 months after his 89th birthday. To say Holtz was a monumental figure in Notre Dame history would be an understatement. To date, the last Irish coach to win a National Championship and as such the last to have a [...]

Heading into the 2025 season we talked about worries with the defensive tackle position on defense and on offense it was the tight end position that looked on really shaky ground. The interior defensive line was able to work things out and even flourish a little bit, although this past fall was a little more [...]

Notre Dame football welcomed 6 players to the 4 days of the NFL Combine this past weekend in Indianapolis. It was a successful several days for the program, so much so that I wouldn't expect these high profile players to do a whole lot when the Pro Days kicks off in South Bend in the [...]

It had to happen eventually. In 2025, Notre Dame was going into a season without veteran linebacker Jack Kiser who came off the board in the 4th round of the NFL Draft to the Jacksonville Jaguars. There was little panic in South Bend, though. New defensive coordinator Chris Ash was walking into one of the [...]

No alternate or one-off uniforms here. This is a series discussing the worst standard uniform changes in modern college football.  The Lead Up The history books will say the mid-to-late 1990's were a time where people wanted to be dark and edgy, while in the sports world this meant pivoting towards darker colors--particularly to navy [...]

Expectations were high for the 2025 offensive line. Outside of the running back room, no other position had such high hopes on the offensive side of the ball. And that was with the transfers out of veterans Rocco Spindler (Nebraska), Pat Coogan (Indiana), and Sam Pendleton (Tennessee). There was a brief "what is going on with [...]

Flashy won't be the word used to describe Notre Dame's 2025 defensive interior. Then again, is that ever a good description of the big guys who play inside? This is the unit doing more dirty work than any other on the team. That was the major task for this past year's defensive tackles and they [...]

It's not every year that we get to review a positional unit and genuinely ask the question: Was this the best running back season in Notre Dame history? We'll discuss that shortly. It was an awesome year with a Heisman finalist but that doesn't mean there weren't some low moments during a frustrating season that [...]
