For the first time since 2021, the Navy and Notre Dame rivalry returns to South Bend on Saturday evening. The 10th-ranked Irish welcome a 7-1 Midshipmen squad coming off their first loss of the season. We provide an offensive overview of Navy amidst their hot start:

In a game that Notre Dame was a 30.5-point favorite at kickoff, with an over/under set at 56.5 points against a 1-7 Boston College team, it was totally reasonable to expect this game to be a blowout in Notre Dame's favor. Right? Well, in the words of Coach Lee Corso, "Not so fast, my friend!" Photo by Notre Dame Athletics Notre Dame received the ball first, and it was a very depressing opening drive for the Irish, going 3-and-out in a series that only lasted a little over a m

No. 12 Notre Dame had many scary sights, but in the end, made enough plays to power past 1-7 Boston College.

Today, this rivalry is seen as a lopsided matchup between two teams on vastly different levels in college football, but historically, this is a game that has produced heartbreaking and joyous moments for everyone involved. Let's talk about some of the greatest installments of the Holy War. Photo via Notre Dame Athletics Overall, Notre Dame has controlled this series, winning 17 of the 26 matchups. Going into the weekend, the Irish hold an eight-game winning streak in the seri

No. 12 Notre Dame (5-2) travels to Chestnut Hill to face off against Boston College (1-7) in the Holy War.

After holding Fordham to 10, Boston College has failed to hold an opponent to under 28 points, a key reason for their current skid. It is tough to find a bright spot on a defensive unit that fails to create pressure, stop the run, or make plays in coverage. There are a couple of promising underclassmen, including freshman nickel TJ Green, but it looks like it might be another long Saturday with a top-20 Notre Dame offense in their way.

While Notre Dame will likely reach the playoffs for a second year in a row with a 10-2 record, there could be some disaster scenarios for the Irish that would see them on the outside looking in even after winning 10 straight games. photo by Irish Tribune The Notre Dame Side of Things It is clear to Notre Dame and its fans that the Irish must finish 10-2 to have any chance of making the CFP. Before the year started, many thought it would take an 11-1 record to get in, but with

The Fighting Irish, coming off a bye week, will embark on a five-game stretch to close the regular season featuring three road contests. Notre Dame’s defense will look to continue its dominant run after holding an elite USC offense to a season-low 24 points. Chris Ash and Co. have another opportunity to display their elite talent against a struggling Boston College offense.

LSU has officially fired Brian Kelly. Bruce Straughan gives his analysis of Kelly's tenure at Notre Dame and why Notre Dame fans were right all along about Kelly.

As week nine of the college football approaches, Notre Dame enters their bye week with a 5-2 record. After suffering two heartbreaking losses to begin the year, the team has rallied to win five in a row. Let's take a look at who has been the most impactful to start the year, and who still needs to improve heading into the back half of the schedule. CJ Carr, Quarterback: A In just his first season as the starting quarterback, CJ Carr has exceeded expectations to become one of

In the five games since the home loss against Texas A&M, the Notre Dame defense has been flying around the field for the most part. This past week, we saw them hold the top offense in the country to a season-low 24 points. Late last month, the Irish defense traveled down to Arkansas and held the Razorbacks' offense to just 13 points, an offense that has scored at least 31 in every other game.

Coming into this game, there was so much talk surrounding the rivalry between Notre Dame and USC. Would this be the last face-off between the two storied historic programs for the foreseeable future? With no contract extension agreed upon by either team, we may have seen the final game between these two, which would be awful in my opinion, as this is truly one of the greatest rivalries in all of sports, dating back to 1926.

No. 13 Notre Dame had their first ranked win of the season with a 34-24 victory over the USC Trojans at Notre Dame Stadium.

It's rivalry weekend in South Bend, and the stakes couldn't be higher. The staff at The Irish Tribune are back to drop predictions heading into a game that has serious playoff implications on both sides. Let's get into it!

With both teams vying for a playoff spot, and the future of this

No. 13 Notre Dame has passed all of their weekly assignments after beginning the season 0-2, but the Irish must succeed in this midterm exam against the No. 20 USC Trojans.

On defense, USC is led by second-year Defensive Coordinator D’Anton Lynn, the former UCLA DC and son of former Los Angeles Chargers Head Coach Anthony. Lynn’s defense has had its share of struggles this year, but last week was an impressive showing. Throughout this year, the Trojans’ front seven has been solid, but the secondary, minus S Bishop Fitzgerald, is where USC is getting burned consistently.

Notre Dame is set to face off against their bitter rival, the USC Trojans, this week. In a game that could be the season-defining win or loss for the Irish, who are the players Notre Dame needs to look out for on both sides of the ball? We take a look at a few of the Trojan's biggest threats. Photo by USC Athletics Makai Lemon - Wide Receiver To put it simply, Makai Lemon is one of the best receivers in all of college football. So far this season, there has not been a defense

This week should provide a test for the seemingly improved Notre Dame defense against an electric USC offense. Offensively, the Trojans are led by Head Coach and playcaller Lincoln Riley. The former Oklahoma HC has compiled a 31-15 record at USC since taking over in 2022, with no conference titles or playoff appearances on his resume. For these reasons, Riley entered this season in a bit of a hot seat. However, a 5-1 start and top-25 ranking have quieted his critics for now.

Any time a team at kickoff is a 22.5-point favorite (like Notre Dame was on Saturday), you expect that team to have no problem dominating both sides of the ball and scoring at will against its opponent. That looked like it would be the case on Saturday when, on the second play of the game, Boubacar Traore got home for a sack, and the defense made easy work of NC State’s offense on the opening series of the game. Photo via Notre Dame Athletics Notre Dame’s offense mirrored the

Fast forward to today's announcement coming out of Happy Valley that Head Coach James Franklin has been fired, and shortly after, it was announced that Kemon Spell was decommitting from Penn State and moving on with his recruitment. Was he already planning to bolt prior to Franklin being let go? That answer we may never get, but from the outside looking in, it appeared this was bound to happen whether Franklin retained his job or not.
