18S Top 20 Poll: Dawgs Done In at Death Valley
Four teams in the Top 10 were defeated this week with 3 others at the top (including Notre Dame) nearly succumbing to the loss column. Everyone is still chasing Alabama who shrugs off a knee sprain from T-Town Tua and [...]
Scholarship Update: Winter is Coming
We've been so busy with actual football stuff that we've yet to run through the scholarship situation since April 30th. What is college football without recruiting, we ask? The actual seasons with games are so short it sometimes feels like [...]

Notre Dame has opened a season 6-0 for the third time in Brian Kelly's tenure, joining 2012's 12-0 start and 2014's 6-0 start. The Irish have achieved that only two other times since Tony Rice graduated: a 10-0 start in [...]
Advanced Stats Review: Virginia Tech
Notre Dame couldn't establish an efficiency advantage for the first time since Ian Book took over the offense, but countered with a Dexter Williams-led win in explosiveness. The Irish also continued their excellence limiting scoring opportunities to create a big [...]
