Welcome back to the 18 Stripes Film Room. I've been off the past few weeks recruiting grizzly bears for Larz's secret training program. It's hard work but someone has to do it. Today we're going to take a look at Ian Book's touchdown pass to Chase Claypool. It's a good look at how Chip Long [...]
For the first time this season, Notre Dame dominated an opponent in virtually every category of advanced stats. The Irish were perfect in the red zone leaning on a spread run game, and had the 3rd highest efficiency advantage of any P5 vs P5 game last week.

The Basics This game is a perfect summary of why [...]

That, or a possible warning about the defense that finally showed some cracks [...]
Our familiar ACC friend Wake Forest is back on the schedule for the 4th time in 7 years and third straight visit to Notre Dame Stadium in this young, modern series. In the last game, the Demon Deacons watched their then second-year head coach Dave Clawson get really heated (he kind of lost it there [...]
