No. 9 Notre Dame has its last ranked matchup of the regular season as it travels to Pittsburgh to face off against the No. 22 Panthers.

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

Irish RB Jeremiyah Love, a potential Heisman candidate, could be tasked with his biggest test since last season’s National Championship against Ohio State. While Pitt’s secondary has been prone to mistakes, their run defense is among the best in the country, with good run-stoppers at nearly every level. The Panthers’ ability to limit opposing teams' top rushers has no doubt been a factor in their current five-game winning streak.

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

No. 10 Notre Dame faces off against their storied rivalry in a game that always presents a difficult challenge.

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:

Notre Dame Men’s Basketball kicked off year three of the Micah Shrewsberry era with an 89-67 win over the LIU Sharks in Purcell Pavilion. Markus Burton and Cole Certa combined for 46 points in a game where the Irish shot over 50% from three and never trailed.

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

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.

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.
