Blue Gold Game Preview: The Running Backs

April 12, 2016 by andrewwinn

2015 starters lost: C.J. Prosise - 156 attempts, 1032 yards, 54.1% of snaps Incoming freshmen: Tony Jones and Deon McIntosh Tarean Folston was supposed to be the foundation that supported a very inexperienced backfield. Seven plays into the 2015 season, it was on to Plan B. Folston, the team's leading rusher in 2014, tore the ACL in his right knee on his third carry from scrimmage. C.J. Prosise, newly converted to the backfield, entered the game having amassed just 10 career ...

Should C.J. Prosise Receive Front-Runner Heisman Hype?

September 30, 2015 by Ryan Ritter

Yes, I know it is quite early in the season to talk about the Heisman. No, I'm not trying to jinx the rest of Notre Dame's season nor am I trying to put a hex on everything awesome that C.J. Prosise has done thus far. I am, however, wondering that if the national media is already shoveling loads of no-doubt-Heisman-front-runner praise onto Leonard Fournette, shouldn't C.J. Prosise be right there with him? In many Heisman watches, you will see Fournette right at the top and Prosise as either ...

Notre Dame vs. UMass 62-27: The Game I Hated and Have Always Wanted

September 27, 2015 by Ryan Ritter

View image | gettyimages.com For the first time in a long time, I found myself downright pissed at Notre Dame at halftime. The 35-20 lead that the Irish took into the locker room might as well have been flipped. The effort was uninspiring. The offense sputtered far too often, including a terrible interception due to, of all people, Will Fuller trying to catch the ball with his body and not his hands. The defense looked lost, giving up three consecutive UMass drives for touchdowns, ...

Cruel Summer: Greg Bryant Suspended for Four Games

June 30, 2015 by Ryan Ritter

Bad things happen in threes. On the day that Everett Golson announced he would transfer from Notre Dame, Bo Wallace announced that he would not be enrolling at Notre Dame. After the one-two punch on that fateful day in May, we've been waiting for the other shoe to drop and fill the offseason trinity of pain. Yesterday morning, that shoe came crashing down as Irish247 announced that a source confirmed Greg Bryant would be suspended for the first four games of 2015 for the ever-so-specific ...

Assorted Thoughts from the 2015 Blue/Gold Game

April 20, 2015 by Ryan Ritter

Notre Dame Football graced us with their annual teaser of football season with the Blue/Gold Game this past Saturday. Of course, this means that it is time for every ND blog in existence to throw out some reactions from the practice game. HLS, of course is no different (save for the fact that I think everyone else already has theirs up), so it is time for me to play my role in this annual rite before we enter the long summer of counting down the days until fall camp breaks. Note: the assorted ...

Irish Blogger Gathering: Spring Fling with NDNation

April 24, 2013 by Ryan Ritter

Yes, you read the title correctly: The Subway Domer has pulled a recruiting coup for the IBG and NDNation has joined the fold. For the post Blue/Gold Game edition, we got the first crack at asking questions of Mike Coffey, aka El Kabong, of NDNation. He, in turn, has asked his questions three of Kieth Arnold of Inside the Irish who will eventually have Subway's answers up. And you can find my answers over at The Subway Domer this week. Eventually, we will have the Strong and True blog back in ...
