Latest news and updates about the Notre Dame
Football schedules are a funny thing. We spend months and months analyzing the twelve games printed on paper, and then we watch as many of our thoughts turn into ash as the season goes on all over the country. Notre Dame’s schedule, for example, has received a ton of criticism from fans and foes alike […]
Another week, another look back at the last time Notre Dame played one of its 2026 opponents. Week 5 brings us to a team we saw a ton of in the early part of this decade (three years in a row from 2020-22), a perennially hyped squad that the Irish routinely poured cold water on. […]

The week begins with another huge recruiting win for James Franklin and the Virginia Tech Hokies. Over the weekend, linebacker Amarri Irvin decommitted from Notre Dame. This was news because Irvin recently visited Blacksburg, and the Hokies were considered a strong contender for him. On Monday, Irvin made it official, flipping his commitment from Notre […]
In a move that surprised no one, 4-Star linebacker Amarri Irvin announced that he has flipped his commitment from Notre Dame to Penn State. Irvin had been committed to Notre Dame since November, but this spring he started to look around for one reason or another. First it was a visit to Missouri with some […]
This is a little disappointing. On Monday, Notre Dame announced its “Irish Wear Green” game (a green out) will be for the October 10th game against the Stanford Cardinal. Yeah — this actually is quite disappointing. Notre Dame calls it the “Irish Wear Green” game but it IS a call for the green out. Those […]

Specialists don’t run the triple option despite the triple option being special. 5-STAR KICKER IS IRISH Notre Dame addressed last season’s kicking issues with the transfer portal, but they are still out here recruiting the hell out of the high school ranks.

Prosise breaking long runs, Will Fuller stretching defenses deep, or DeShone Kizer growing more comfortable under center with each passing week, the Irish had discovered something powerful: they could score in bunches. […]
