Cornerback Devin Butler has pleaded to a misdemeanor charge of resisting law enforcement in satisfaction of the two felonies pending against him. The attorney for Butler, who is recovering from a broken foot, said he expects his client to be reinstated to the football team.

This is a big recruiting weekend for Notre Dame football. Recruits don't decide their future based solely on what they witness on the field. Regardless, a win over Stanford can only help with some of the academic all-stars considering playing football at one of the two schools playing in South Bend.

Fans and media have spent a lot of time debating whether Coach Kelly throws his players under the bus. Today, the team captains said they absolutely don't feel Kelly is solely blaming them or their teammates for the four losses. But as a friend and fellow ND grad said to me today, "Players approved by Notre Dame to speak to the media had nothing bad to say about the man who controls their playing time and potential NFL draft position? I am shocked." I'm not that cynical, but I get his point. ...
Stanford Cardinal running back Christian McCaffrey (5) is brought down by Notre Dame Fighting Irish linebacker Greer Martini (48) and safety Elijah Shumate (22) during the first half at Stanford Stadium.
Good morning! The big news from Tuesday is that Stanford coach David Shaw isn't certain that star running back - and onetime Heisman hopeful - Christian McCaffrey will play on Saturday. Of course, he may be trolling Irish fans, who recognize their team's chances of winning increase greatly without McCaffrey on the field. This headline and many more below. ...

I listened to a fair amount of podcasts that discussed Saturday's loss. My biggest takeaway is that there were so many missed opportunities - and a fair share of them were because coaches didn't put players into a position to succeed. That's super depressing. Hopefully these headlines will give you some hope for the matchup against struggling Stanford. ...

Well...that sucked. If you aren't sufficiently depressed by Saturday's result, check out these headlines from after Notre Dame's 10-3 loss to North Carolina State. (That oughta do the trick.) ...
Today's performance was just awful. Yes, the weather had a lot to do with it. But the offensive line is getting zero push on runs. The receivers are dropping balls. The center is grounding snaps. The play calling is highly questionable. We don't relive it all in this week's #HLSRecap. But there's enough here to give you, dear reader, a flavor of what this game was like. (That flavor is disgusting.) Someday, I'll link to this recap to remind everyone about the lowest point in Brian Kelly's ...
