Gunner Kiel, the Columbus, Indiana native rated as the #1 quarterback and #18 overall recruit in the class of 2012 has finally found his place in college football. He originally committed to the Indiana Hoosiers and new coach Kevin Wilson (where his older brother Dusty Kiel is currently part of the QB rotation). Then he changed his mind and de-committed, later giving an oral commitment to LSU on December 27th. [...]

Early in the second half, there was a time Florida State had more return yardage that yards produced by its offense. The Notre Dame defense had held the Seminoles scoreless through the first half in 30 minutes of football that were better suited for napping than viewership. But in the second [...]

On Thursday, December 29th, at 5:31 pm EST, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish will take on the Seminoles of Florida State in the …
Champs Sports Bowl?
Yep, the Champs Sports Bowl.
My, how the mighty have fallen. These two teams once played in the “Game of the Century” in 1993 as ND outlasted Charlie Ward and [...]

Two years ago Toby Gerhart, now with the Minnesota Vikings then with the Stanford Cardinal, ran for over 200 yards on Notre Dame. The performance moved him up the Heisman Trophy pecking order, and he lost (by the slimmest margin of all time) to current member of the New Orleans Saints then member of the Alabama Crimson Tide Mark Ingram.

USC went into Saturday’s game as a 9.5 point underdog, perceived as the same [...]

Its hard to judge the first game under the Brady Hoke Era of Michigan football. It was a little like the weather at times sunny and at times nasty looking. One thing that stood out was the coaching staff making adjustments to slow down and stop the WMU offense. Overall I would give the team a B on today’s performance.
The offense at times[...]

If storyline #1 surrounding Notre Dame football this preseason is who will be the #1 quarterback?, as senior Dayne Crist battles sophomore Tommy Rees for the coveted QB1 gig, then storyline #2 is Michael Floyd and his reinstatement back into the program.

Floyd led the team last season with 79 receptions for 1,025 yards and 12 touchdowns but was suspended after his third [...]

Corwin Brown played in the NFL for 8 years (Detroit Lions, New England Patriots, New York Jets) since then he’s had coaching stints at the University of Virginia, as defensive backs coach for the Patriots, and as Charlie Weiss D-Coordinator at Notre Dame before the Brian Kelly regime took over the Fighting Irish.
Brown did his [...]

If there was one weak link in Notre Dame last season, it was without question the ground game. If you look at the national rankings, on offense: 67th in scoring, 92nd in rushing, 34th in passing, 61st in total yardage.

Defense: 23rd in scoring , 50th in rushing…
