After a slow start to recruiting this spring, the 2014 group received a huge jolt when blue-chip running back Elijah Hood pledged his commitment to the Irish on Sunday evening. The 5-foot-11, 220-pounder is Rivals’ top-ranked athlete, No. 12 prospect overall, and has offers from North Carolina, Michigan, Ohio State, Florida State, USC and more.…

During Kapron Lewis-Moore‘s Notre Dame career, the six-foot-four, 300-pound defensive end had his share of bad timing. An injury during the 2011 season cut short his junior year just as the Irish needed him most. After an impressive final season, an ACL injury during the biggest game of his career threw his draft potential into…

It took longer than they probably hoped, but four more Irish football players went off the board in the late rounds of the NFL Draft. Safety Jamoris Slaughter, whose season was cut short after an Achilles tendon tear, was selected in the sixth round by the Cleveland Browns. Later in that round, Theo Riddick went…

The waiting is finally over for Notre Dame All-American Manti Te’o, who was selected by the San Diego Chargers with the sixth pick of the second round. For Te’o, it’s a silver lining landing spot after a disappointing slide dropped him out of the first round. The former Irish linebacker heads to San Diego, about…

Notre Dame’s record-setting tight end Tyler Eifert was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals with the 21st pick in the NFL Draft’s first round. He was the first tight end selected in the draft and is the 64th former Irish player to be taken in the first round. It’s the second time in two seasons that…

The University of Notre Dame announced home kickoff times for the upcoming 2013 season yesterday, the highlight being another prime time affair against USC.

With the spring game in the rearview mirror, and the long abyss ahead of us before fall camp, we thought it was a good time to get the old band back together, with the Irish Blogger Gathering reuniting for a one-day special. With Josh Flynt off to greener pastures at the Monogram Club, we’re waiting…

Notre Dame added another prospect to their 2014 recruiting class, with Illinois tight end Nic Weishar pledging his commitment yesterday. Weishar had a nice list of offers that included Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Wisconsin and others.

With the Irish coming off a second consecutive 8-5 season, and a late season recruiting fade that saw elite recruits like Ronald Darby and Deontay Greenberry leave at the eleventh hour, Notre Dame’s recruiting philosophy changed. The 2013 recruiting class that became one of the most decorated groups in the modern era wasn’t always that.…

For those worried that the Irish weren’t taking the Blue-Gold game all that seriously, tuning in one hour before the scrimmage would have alleviated any worry that Notre Dame didn’t take the spring seriously. The NBC Sports Network aired the most recent behind-the-scenes look at Notre Dame football, with a one-hour special called “Strong and…

We’ll likely spend the next month or two trying to make heads or tails of the spring game. Part of that is the zero-sum variety of an intersquad scrimmage. Is a big play made by the offense a bad play by the defense? Does a good pass rush mean the offensive line is playing poorly?…

We’ll dig a little bit deeper into the game later this afternoon, but first let’s roll through some video highlights from the 84th annual Blue-Gold game. Here’s a quick look at a highlight package, for those of you that missed the game yesterday. *** Here’s Brian Kelly after the game with NBC’s Alex Flanagan. It’s…

What a difference a year makes. Just think: Twelve months ago, the Irish were in the middle of a four-man open race for the starting quarterback job. The coaching staff was rebuilt and reshuffled, all with the hopes of fixing an offense that needed to replace its best player. Coming off two 8-5 seasons, the…

Today’s a great day to be a Notre Dame football fan. Not just for the Blue-Gold game, but for the hour before it, as we watch Strong and True, the behind-the-scenes documentary on the Irish football team’s offseason. As mentioned earlier in the week, you’ve got plenty of options to watch the Blue-Gold game. You…

The culmination of spring practice happens this afternoon as the offense takes on the defense in the 84th annual Blue-Gold game. (For those bristling about a lack of traditional scrimmage, what do you expect from a game that supposedly pits Blue vs. Gold and one team always wears white?) With a winter blast hitting South…

Notre Dame’s spring practices will come to a close on Saturday with the annual Blue-Gold game. For the first time in what feels like a decade, there doesn’t seem to be a major storyline playing out in front of our eyes. There is no quarterback controversy, with Everett Golson holding down the No. 1 job…

With Saturday’s Blue-Gold game right around the corner, now is as good as any time to let you know you have plenty of options to watch the Irish get a well deserved victory this Saturday at 1 p.m. EST. As we’ve done in the past, the Blue-Gold game will be broadcast live on NBC Sports…

If you were worried that the seismic shifts in the college football world would affect Notre Dame’s position in college football’s ever-changing television landscape, that was put to rest today. The University of Notre Dame and the NBC Sports Group renewed their partnership for 10 years, extending through the 2025 football season. That will extend…

We tackled the important role Everett Golson plays in the offense’s evolution earlier in the week. But a snippet from “Strong and True,” the one-hour behind the scenes look airing before the Blue-Gold game, gives you an interesting look at here the Irish’s starting quarterback is in his development as a team leader. No question,…

While the numbers along the offensive line have been a problem for Brian Kelly and the Irish offense, the personnel at the top hasn’t been. Last season, the offensive line was one of the best in recent memory — averaging over 200 yards both running and throwing the ball during the regular season. With veterans…
