College football in 2026 is truly a war of attrition. Teams have always had to account for losing players through graduation and pursuing their dreams at the next level, but the transfer portal era has made building depth and keeping position groups stocked with talent an unenviable task. Recruiting will always be the foundational piece of any contending program, but if you want to consistently place yourself in title talks, using the transfer portal is not only an additional

Mike Mickens Leaves Notre Dame After an Immaculate Tenure
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. After six incredible seasons, Notre Dame Defensive Backs coach Mike Mickens has accepted the vacant Defensive Backs coaching position with the Baltimore Ravens. Mickens joined the Fighting Irish in 2020, being hired to coach the cornerbacks by way of Cincinnati - not unlike Marcus Freeman. Mickens would see plenty of success both on the recruiting trail and on the field, as he helped to elevate one of Notre Dame's biggest we

Over the course of the last month or so, there had been a myriad of rumors surrounding Marcus Freeman and potential NFL head coaching jobs.

Notre Dame Takes Care of Stanford, Now Awaits Fate in Playoff Committee Purgatory
Coming into this game, Notre Dame needed to do everything it could to impress the Playoff Committee by demolishing Stanford. Like it or not, this has become the way of college football where "style points" matter. Notre Dame came out of the gates swinging and appeared to be well on their way to another huge win as they racked up 35 points in the first half. It seemed it would be an easy night for the Irish.

Bruce's Take - Irish Shutout Syracuse in Dominant Senior Day Performance
Coming into Saturday's contest, Notre Dame was on an eight-game winning streak and fresh off a dominant performance against Pitt. The Irish didn't even play to their full potential and still managed to win 37-15. Syracuse, on the other hand, had not won a game since their 34-21 win over Clemson way back in September. Since then, it has been an absolute trainwreck of losses, resulting in a six-game losing streak for the Orange. Photo via Notre Dame Athletics So, it was expecte

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
