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.

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.

Notre Dame put on a show for the Irish fans at Compton Ice Arena in a sweep of the St. Lawrence Saints. The Irish outscored the Saints 11-2 in the two games, with newcomers leading the way offensively and solid performances from sophomore goalie Nicholas Kempf.

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.

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.

On Saturday afternoon, the 16th-ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish (3-2) hosts the NC State Wolfpack (4-2). The Irish look to keep their CFP hopes alive amidst the chaos of last weekend. Meanwhile, the Wolfpack would love to prove they are back on track, following two early ACC losses, with a big-time road win.

This Saturday afternoon, the 16th-ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish hosts 4-2 NC State. The Irish look to extend their win streak to four as College Football Playoff hopes are in the air in South Bend following an upset-filled weekend.  The Wolfpack were able to get back on track with a dominant win against Campbell following back-to-back ACC losses to Virginia Tech and Duke.

This Saturday afternoon, Notre Dame welcomes Boise State to South Bend for a matchup between two CFP teams from a year ago. The Irish offense looks to continue its roll, coming off of back-to-back 56-point outings, while the defense slowly figures itself out after holding an explosive Arkansas offense to just 13 points.

Following another dominant win, Notre Dame now looks toward Boise State. In their first-ever matchup against Boise State, these are the...
