Lately there have been two parts to watching Notre Dame football. The first comes on Saturday and takes place either in Notre Dame Stadium or in front of the TV. The second falls on Sunday night and serves as a reminder of what we’re pushing for week after week—The BCS Countdown. I have been eagerly…

It’s a series regarded by many as the “Holy War,” a meeting between the only two Catholic universities in the FBS and a pair of institutions often compared to one another. Many students apply to both schools, but truthfully, there might not be as much in common between Notre Dame and Boston College as often…

The Irish won another thriller on Saturday, a 29-26 triple-overtime victory over Pittsburgh that featured late game heroics on both sides of the ball. After falling behind 20-6, the Irish outgained the Panthers 223 to 21 in yardage over the course of the fourth quarter and overtime. Everett Golson led two late touchdown drives highlighted…

Though it began as a locker room tradition, Trick Shot Monday has also made appearances in other locations around the Gug – the auditorium, the players’ lounge, even Coach Kelly’s office. If you saw the College GameDay segment, you might recall Kapron Lewis-Moore and Mike Golic Jr. talking about the “zero hour” – that time…

How many miracles can there be in a single game? And how likely is it that they all come sometime after the third quarter? I wasn’t worried at halftime. Things were looking shaky at halftime against BYU, but still the Irish prevailed. When our team ran onto the field for the second half, I thought,…

With the fourth quarter beginning and the Irish trailing 20-6, I thought about all the dreams that were in serious jeopardy. A national championship. Manti Te’o for Heisman. Mark May dancing merrily in a leprechaun suit. Turnovers, penalties, a (correctly) reversed touchdown call, countless missed opportunities. Today just seemed like one of those games that…

Earlier in the week, defensive end Kapron Lewis-Moore and running back Cierre Wood were on ESPNU Road Trip. Today, KLM spoke with Dari Nowkhah on ESPN’s College Football Daily. Nowkhah, an Oklahoma alum, asked the co-captain about the win over the Sooners, the Irish’s place in the BCS rankings, and his role as one of…

The following column, written by Senior Associate A.D./Media & Broadcast Relations director John Heisler will appear as “The Last Word” in this weekend’s football game program. I wish Beano Cook could have been here today. First of all, today is National College Football Day, as designated annually by the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic. And every…

With four undefeated teams atop this week’s college football polls, many are beginning to wonder if we’re staring straight into the BCS-pocalypse that has long been feared. But let’s not forget, the chances of Alabama, Oregon, Kansas State and Notre Dame all being undefeated a month from now is pretty slim. So while we might…

After Saturday’s game in Norman, ESPNU Road Trip co-hosts Niki Noto (@NikiNoto) and Ali Nejad (@Ali_Nejad) ran down Irish stars Kapron Lewis-Moore and Cierre Wood on the field at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. The show airs on Tuesdays at 7:30 pm ET on ESPNU, but the Notre Dame-Oklahoma episode will re-air on Saturday at 6:30 am…

Though the Irish football team observes a “24-hour rule” and is now focused on Pittsburgh, if you’re a fan, a win like Saturday’s is worth celebrating until, well, the following Saturday (Nov. 3, 3:30 pm ET on NBC). Here’s the latest ICON from Fighting Irish Digital Media, an in-depth look back at Notre Dame’s memorable…

After a rare game against Oklahoma in Norman, Notre Dame returns home on Saturday (3:30 pm ET on NBC) to take on a familiar foe – Pittsburgh. The Panthers are the Fighting Irish’s fifth-most common opponent, behind only Navy, Purdue, USC and Michigan State. This weekend will mark the 68th meeting between the programs, with…

Notre Dame played its best game of the season in a 30-13 victory over Oklahoma on Saturday night. For the seventh straight game, the Irish defense did not allow an explosive drive and Oklahoma’s only touchdown drive came on its shortest field position of the game. Notre Dame gave up only 15 total yards rushing…

We are back … back to playing like a champion everyday. Last week I said Notre Dame was finally going to be on the pedestal that the Irish faithful have yearned for over the past decade. On Saturday that pedestal was prepared as the crowd in Norman was electric, the stadium was striped in crimson and…
