Notre Dame QB derby: Andrew Hendrix, the other “favorite”

By

It's a four way battle to start at quarterback in Notre Dame, perhaps the most high profile position in all of college sports.

Unlike other spring games, Notre Dame lets them pretty much go live at QB, which is a lot cooler than the signal caller wearing a red, no-contact jersey. Here's the statistical breakdown. Everett Golson 31 snaps, 11-15 passing, 120 yards, two TDs, 0 picks. 6 carries for 25 yards. Tommy Rees 7-14-1, … [Read more...] about 2012 Notre Dame Spring Game notes, nuggets and tidbits

#4 Stanford Crushes #22 Notre Dame: (Andrew) Luck of the non-Irish

By

Two years ago Toby Gerhart, now with the Minnesota Vikings then with the Stanford Cardinal, ran for over 200 yards on Notre Dame.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish 59, Air Force Falcons 33: Rapid Reaction

By

Offense was the story in South Bend on Saturday, as Tommy Rees the “Game Manager” became Tommy Rees “the Touchdown slinger.” Notre Dame reeled off 42 first half points thanks in large part to four passing touchdowns from their quarterback in route to a 59-33 shellacking of the Air Force Academy in a game that was not even as close as the already lopsided outcome would … [Read more...] about Notre Dame Fighting Irish 59, Air Force Falcons 33: Rapid Reaction

Defense: 23rd in scoring , 50th in rushing, 54th in passing, 50th in total yards. 2010 was also the first year since 1971 that the Fighting Irish failed to … [Read more...] about Notre Dame Running Game in 2011: What can be expected from Cierre Wood?

Notre Dame Offense: Too Early Season Preview

By

“The quarterback spot? I really don't know. I’m taking all suggestions. I can make a case passionately for any of the four. We can't go into the season not knowing what we're doing. We can’t do musical chairs.” Those are the words of Irish football coach Brian Kelly last month when he spoke at an IMG sales luncheon in Chicago for clients of Notre Dame’s football radio … [Read more...] about Notre Dame Offense: Too Early Season Preview
