The noted American poet laureate Anthony Kiedis once rhetorically asked "how come everybody want to keep it like the Kaiser?!" in the 1991 Red Hot Chili Peppers hit, "Give it Away." Notre Dame football coach Brian Kelly essentially implied how come everybody want to ask about the Kizer in his response on a media teleconference Sunday afternoon. Former Notre Dame quarterback … [Read more...] about Brian Kelly Has Apparently Had Enough DeShone Kizer Questions

2017 Notre Dame Football Season Preview and Predictions
Former Chicago Bears Head Coach Dave Wannstedt knows Notre Dame football pretty well having coached against them several times while leading Pittsburgh, his alma mater. He was surprised to see the Fighting Irish take such a step back last season, especially on one side of the ball. "The defense falling off the way they did was a bit of a mystery to me," Wannstedt said during … [Read more...] about 2017 Notre Dame Football Season Preview and Predictions
Five Notre Dame Football Players to Watch this Season (Offense)
Expectations for the 2017 Notre Dame football team are modest at best, but this group does bare a couple resemblances to Coach Brian Kelly's two best teams. In both 2012 and 2015, Notre Dame relied on a very strong offensive line, and they won with inexperience at quarterback. This year's Fighting Irish obviously have inexperience at QB, but also again have a very stout OL, … [Read more...] about Five Notre Dame Football Players to Watch this Season (Offense)
Five Notre Dame Football Players to Watch this Season (Defense)
Although 2016 Notre Dame football was just 4-8, the Irish lost seven of those eight by eight points or fewer. That tells you how they're really not all that far away. If they tighten up on defense, the side of the ball that definitely has more room for improvement, the Irish could end up flipping that record to 8-4 in 2017; provided they shore up a few other things and nothing … [Read more...] about Five Notre Dame Football Players to Watch this Season (Defense)
Notre Dame QB1 Brandon Wimbush: What Fans Can Expect
Notre Dame was unranked in the preseason coaches poll, and that's understandable given how they're coming off a 4-8 season. Additionally, DeShone Kizer, the team's starting quarterback and arguably best/most important player last season, left school early to play in the NFL. The new QB1 in South Bend is Brandon Wimbush, who is inexperienced and thus an unknown quantity. … [Read more...] about Notre Dame QB1 Brandon Wimbush: What Fans Can Expect

DeShone Kizer Makes Boastful Remarks; Will it Hurt NFL Draft Stock?
While the NFL Draft evaluation process has seen the stock of former Notre Dame quarterback DeShone Kizer plummet like the brand value of Pepsi, he still made the right call in coming out this year. The 2018 class of quarterbacks will be much stronger than the 2017, which is a bit weak. Also, given how ND's season went, and the current direction and status of the Brian Kelly … [Read more...] about DeShone Kizer Makes Boastful Remarks; Will it Hurt NFL Draft Stock?
