The Fighting Irish were back on the practice field Wednesday morning for their 3rd workout of spring following a lengthy layoff due to spring break. The team got a couple of practices in but had to shake off 12 days worth of dust to get back into the groove. QUARTERBACK The Dude remains Brandon Wimbush [...]
The Fighting Irish returned to the indoor Loftus Center for the first practice of spring in the early morning hours of March 8th. The media was allowed a brief glimpse of the workout and won't see anything else until well after the Easter break. These are the only bread crumbs we have for now. Quarterback [...]
As is the case most year's the defense heads into spring with more intrigue and question marks compared to the offense. When you add a new defensive coordinator in the mix without the strong hand of Brian Kelly (like the offense) the story lines are all the more juicy. Let's preview the Irish defense! BOLD [...]
This Wednesday the Fighting Irish step on the practice field for the first time following a disastrous 4-8 season. The program has followed up a truly forgettable season with a surprisingly uplifting winter and will begin laying down the tracks for what is hoped to be a highly successful 2017 season. BOLD denotes returning starter QUARTERBACK [...]
Recently, I was taking a look at some of the differences between the filled-in Notre Dame monogram and the not filled-in monogram on my usual Wednesday evening meanderings through the internet. After a few seconds I had that special moment when you're completely unaware and you stumble upon a glorious website. Click for The Notre Dame Uniform [...]
Notre Dame is coming off its 4th straight year of underwhelming production in the secondary. An entire class has cycled through the program watching nothing but overrated and over-hyped defensive backs. At some point that has to change, right? Let's review this position group from 2016. Snap Count Cole Luke- 791 (48 tackles, 35 solo, [...]
The 2015 season was such a high water mark for the running game at Notre Dame that it was going to be a tough task to repeat that type of performance without a few pieces who moved on to the NFL. The 2016 unit had its moments but the Irish felt a hard crash of [...]
Tradition can be a tricky thing. It can come in many different varieties and for football at the University of Notre Dame it acts as both the driver of a successful American institution but also as a tremendous burden for a program coming off its 28th year in a row without a National Championship. This [...]
Braden Lenzy became the 11th Notre Dame commit of the 2018 cycle when he announced for the Irish today. Lenzy and his parents made their first visit to Notre Dame on the first junior day of the cycle; the visit made a big impression, as it moved the Irish from the edge of his radar to right [...]
When a major outlet covering Notre Dame trumpets an exclusive interview with athletic director Jack Swarbrick, especially when the topic is the football program, there's an expectation that you'll learn something new. Not really the case with today's article that featured Swarbrick renewing his commitment to head coach Brian Kelly, albeit without saying much he hasn't said [...]
I'm coming around on the future NFL career of DeShone Kizer in the NFL. Sometimes the best remedy for anything is simply time. From the middle of the 2016 season through the beginning of the off-season you could say I was selling stock in Kizer. So, I went into this article doing research and thinking [...]
Notre Dame picked up its fourth commitment of the week today, and third from last weekend's junior day visitor list, when jumbo wide receiver Micah Jones announced for the Irish. The 6'5", 200-pound Illinois prospect earned an offer after attending Irish Invasion last year and was immediately rumored to be an Irish lean. His recruiting rankings [...]
Notre Dame's linebackers headed into 2016 in a weird place. The Godbacker had moved on to the Cowboys with his year-long rehab meanwhile the feel-good story turned sour drama following Joe Schmidt around also came to an end. Replacing two starters brought us a fun little season from the linebackers that wasn't always mirrored by the [...]
