Marking the first ever matchup between these two programs, the 2021-22 Fiesta Bowl will feature the Oklahoma State Cowboys and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.  Notre Dame enters this New Year’s Day game with an 11-1 record and ranked fifth in the nation, while the Cowboys come in ranked ninth with an 11-2 record.  Will […]

In what has already been an insanely unpredictable couple of weeks since Notre Dame wrapped up their regular season finale at Stanford, the Irish saw their head coach of the past 12 years depart for the head coaching gig at LSU and hired an exciting up-and-coming superstar in Marcus Freeman to take the reins in […]

Saturday’s 45-14 victory over Stanford marked Notre Dame’s 11th win of the season; another rather dominant performance on both sides of the ball.  Quarterback Jack Coan passed for over 300 yards for the first time since September and Kevin Austin finally looked like a true number one receiver.  The 11th win put the Irish in square contention for the […]

Saturday’s dominating 55-0 win over the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets marked the tenth win for the Fighting Irish. This is Brian Kelly’s fifth season in a row with 10 plus wins, and as of now, the Irish are one of two Division 1 programs to have at least 10 wins every year since 2017, the […]

Saturday’s 28-3 routing of Virginia marked the ninth win for the Fighting Irish in a rather boring contest.  With the Cavaliers’ starting quarterback, Brennan Armstrong, ruled out due to the nagging rib injury, Virginia’s highly potent offense looked pedestrian at best.  For the second week in a row, Notre Dame’s defense did not give up […]

After one of, if not the, most dominant performance by Notre Dame’s defensive line, the Irish improved to 8-1 overall with a win over the Navy Midshipmen and moved up to number nine in the College Football Playoff rankings.  The Irish held the Midshipmen out of the endzone for the entirety of the game to complete a […]

This past Saturday’s primetime matchup against the Tarheels marked Notre Dame’s seventh win of the season with a 44-34 final score and demonstrated two key takeaways in my opinion: first, the Irish defense will need to significantly improve on their tackling if Notre Dame wants to finish the season with only one loss; and second, […]

Notre Dame was able to tally their fourth win in a row over USC this past Saturday and the eighth out of 11 under Brian Kelly thanks to one of the most complete performances seen this year.  Almost all facets of this Irish program have taken a step forward (better late than never) and seem […]

Following the come from behind victory over Virginia Tech, Notre Dame has made it to the halfway point in this 2021 college football season with a 5-1 record.  The games have been far from pretty, but Coach Kelly has managed to squeak out a lot of favorable outcomes up to this point.  Coming off a […]

Following Notre Dame’s loss to Cincinnati, Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly remarked that his coaching staff needed to move past its “flavor of the week” management of the quarterback position. However, only one week later, and after experiencing another juggling act at QB, Coach Kelly’s remark might actually be an understatement. Perhaps the flavor […]
