Coming into this game, there was a lot of weirdness to start the week with Pitt Head Coach Pat Narduzzi stating that "It is not an ACC game. I'd gladly get beaten 103 or 110 -10 in that game. They could put up 100 on us as long as we win the next two after that." Photo via Notre Dame Athletics If that wasn't bad enough, he appeared on the Pat McAfee show and explained that the statement was made because he was "trying to take the pressure off the team," and then followed it u

Jeremiyah Love has been one of the most electric players in all of college football for the second year in a row. He continues to wow onlookers with his elite athleticism and playmaking ability, but with the season winding down, does he have a real chance to make it to New York City? Love broke onto the national scene last year when it was clear he had quickly become one of the best running backs in the country. It seemed like it was every week that he would make a video game

Notre Dame gears up for what should be their biggest remaining test of the season. With playoff chances on the line, this is a "must-win" for the Irish, and it will serve as their last chance to perform well against another ranked opponent. Let's take a look at the matchups that favor the Irish, as well as the ones that don't. Advantages Notre Dame Passing Attack vs. Pitt Passing Secondary Overall, the Pitt defense is a pretty good unit, ranking in the top 40 in most defensiv

Seven days after not being asked to do much against Navy’s heavy-run attack, Notre Dame's middling pass defense will be tasked with a challenge this week against Pitt’s pass-heavy offense. Following back-to-back early-season losses, the Panthers benched second-year starting QB Eli Holstein in favor of freshman Mason Heintschel. Since the move, both the offense and wins have picked up with Pitt entering this weekend 5-0 with Heintschel leading the way.

Coming into this game, there were a lot of questions and concerns about the Irish after a lackluster performance against Boston College last week. Coming off a bye week, it was expected that Notre Dame would make easy work of Boston College, but that wasn't the case, which left many wondering: What the heck happened during that bye week, and did the Irish even prepare at all? What I saw was a team that overlooked a bad 1-7, which ultimately led to a poor performance. Photo vi

Notre Dame is coming off the back of one of its sloppiest performances all year against Boston College. With the Irish seemingly in control of their playoff destiny moving forward, can they get right against a familiar foe who presents the same unique challenge year in and year out? The Irish Tribune Staff weighs in on the game below. Brenden Duffy - Editor/Sports Writer: 52-21 Notre Dame Notre Dame’s offense should come out with some fire after an underwhelming outing at Bos

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.

Notre Dame has wrapped up one of the biggest recruiting weekends of Marcus Freeman's career thus far. The "who's who" of top-tier talent from across the country was in attendance on Saturday to watch the Irish dominate the USC Trojans. The weekend went about as good as it gets, with many of the attendees raving about their time on campus. One of those was C/O 2028 Composite 5-star RB Zaiden Jernigan.

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.

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

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.
