Tyler didn't get to watch the game last night just wondering how the line looked without Zeke at center?

4-8 season. Sits his son on the final game vs Utah

Hate to see it

This was a good ND team and one of the worst teams OSU I can remember. Still not enough. With the changing landscape adding to NDs difficulties, how can ND realistically even the gap?

My five defining plays from Notre Dame's 56-23 win over Stanford:

1. Notre Dame’s first sack of Ashton Daniels
2. Audric Estimé’s first touchdown run
3. Jadarian Price’s fumbled kick return
4. Jack Kiser’s interception
5. Audric Estimé’s third touchdown run

What did I miss?

Rightfully so, many of you have been trying to figure out how to watch the Pac-12 Network since it was announced Notre Dame will play its game at Stanford on the network.

I'm far from an expert on this, as I don't have Pac-12 Network myself, but I tried to do a little bit of digging for you all.

If you haven't already, you should figure out if your TV provider has access to Pac-12 Network. You can do that by searching for your provider at this link:


The most common options appear to be CenturyLink, Charter Spectrum, Comcast Xfinity, Cox, DISH, Frontier, fuboTV and Sling TV. You may still need to make sure you have the right package for Pac-12 Network if any of those are your TV providers. There are more regional providers listed as well.

Some of the popular TV providers that don't have it include DirecTV, AT&T U-verse, YouTube TV and Hulu Live TV.

The best deal out there seems to be a free trial of fuboTV. Just make sure you cancel it ASAP if you don't want to eventually get charged.

Here's the postgame transcript from linebacker Audric Estimé. Questions are paraphrased.

Q: Did you feel this pregame? Or did you have some other type of motivation to have a game like this?

A: “It was definitely another game, but this game was definitely different. Last regular season [game] for the 2023 season. We always pride ourselves to finish strong and start fast. We were talking about the game in particular but that also goes into the season. We got to start fast and finish strong and I feel like the team did that and represented at a high level today.”

Q: How badly did you want to be in there in the fourth quarter? Did you realize you were that close to breaking the record?

A: “I realized towards the end but I’m not really chasing records, honestly, or stats. It’s nice to get it but at the end of the day, we got the job done. We won by like, what, 40 points? We had over 300 rushing on the ground as a total offense so that’s all that matters at the end of the day.”

Q: With your big decision coming up, what is your timeline and when do you want to make a decision?

A: “I don’t really have a timeline right now. I’m just worried about coming in on Monday, getting a lift in and going over this game, seeing how I could’ve done better. And then we’ll start having conversations then.”

Q: How did you find out you weren't a Doak Walker semifinalist and how much did that motivate you?

A: “I found out the night before. It was pretty hard. It was definitely a goal of mine. It wasn't the end of the world at that point. We still had some football to play and that’s all that matters. I just have a bunch of guys that rely on me so I couldn't shut down no matter what. Just had to keep on going, had to come in the next day at practice like nothing happened and just keep on rolling.”

Q: Did you feel like it fueled you in any way?

A: “Yeah, I’m not gonna lie, it definitely fueled me. I definitely feel like I’m one of the best running backs in the country, if not the best. I definitely want other people to notice but after today, I feel like a lot of people will notice.”

Q: As one of the leaders on this team, how did you help attack the early turnovers and help the offense turn it around?

A: “Our main message was to come out fast today. We did come out fast I’d say but we kind of had things that were shooting ourselves in the legs like turnovers. Our main pillar and first pillar is the ball so we gotta do a better job taking care of the ball but offense played a great game, defense played a great game, special teams played a great game. We just didn’t let those negative plays ruin our whole game and just took one play at a time and kept on going.”

Q: What was the message from Coach Freeman at the end of the first half?

A: “I’m one of the leaders of this team. I’m a leader of this offense. I’m the leader of the running back group so when a guy like that fumbles the ball at the one-yard line, that’s a reflection of me. It’s a reflection of coach Deland. That’s just coach Freeman just holding me and holding our running back group to high standards. You know, I love that. I appreciate that. It’s just great coaching. It’s something everyone needs to be to take your game to the next level.

Q: You must’ve been happy about the overruling then?

A: “Yeah, I was happy about that. Happy for Gi’Bran to get the touchdown.”

Q: How much more frustrating is it to know that Ohio State lost today and you guys would be in a much better position today if their comeback didn’t happen against you all?

A: “It was a good game. Both teams, Michigan and Ohio State, are really good teams but it's hard to go back in time that far down the line because there’s a couple [OF] things we could've done better. But at the end of the day, that's football. The ball goes out of the way, you just gotta bring it every other game and this week, our only opponent was Stanford and we handled business. You’d definitely love to have that back but it’s life. You just gotta keep moving and gotta find ways to improve from that.”

Q: What did you mean by your “Bet” tweet earlier this week?

A: “Exactly what I meant, today. Bet.”

Q: (Can’t decipher follow up but related to his tweet)

A: “I felt like I was kinda cut short so that, ‘Bet,’ was just like, ‘Alright, you guys don’t think I’m one of the 10 best in the country, I’m [gonna] show you.”

Q: Can you talk about the job the offensive line did today?

A: “They did an amazing job. I couldn't do anything without them. From Joe Alt to Patrick Coogan to Ashton [Craig] stepping up, Billy [Schrauth] stepping up to Blake [Fisher]. Those guys did a phenomenal job for me all year and I’m so thankful for them. Honestly, I told them I gotta take them all out to eat. I gotta do something for them. I’m just so thankful for them. Those guys are hard workers. We’re led by the strong. Coach Freeman always prides that we’re [an] o-line, d-line driven program and they do a great of leading us. They're our leaders. They’re the first ones in practice on Monday, last ones out the facility because they’re always having meetings. They just do a great job and I really appreciate those guys.”

Q: Did you recognize some of the blocks Eli Raridon threw?

A: “I definitely did. Eli stepped up with Holden [Staes] not playing and Mitch Evans getting down. Eli’s been doing a really good job and Davis Sherwood and Cooper Flanagan, they’ve just [been doing] all a great job. The sky’s the limit for them because those guys are young and those guys are just now getting into a groove so I’m excited to see where it’s gonna take them.”

Q: What does it mean to you to have the single-season rushing touchdowns program record?

A: “It means amazing. Coming into this school, coming in as a freshman, coming in at Notre Dame, I always prided myself and I was saying, ‘I’m gonna give them something to remember. I’m gonna be something legendary.’”

A (cont'd): “Having a record like that has my name stamped in the history books forever. That means amazing for the whole offensive line to help me get that and for coach Freeman, coach Deland for trusting me and giving me an opportunity to put me in position to be successful. I’m just thankful to God and everyone who helped me along this way."

Notre Dame men's basketball will try to pull off an upset in the opening round of the four-team Legends Classis hosted at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.

The Irish (1-1), who lost to Western Carolina on Saturday, will take on Auburn (1-1) with tip expected for 9 p.m. EST on ESPN2. The first game of the Legends Classic featuring Oklahoma State (1-1) and St. Bonaventure will tip at 6:30 p.m. EST on ESPNU.

The losers of the two games will meet Friday at 4:30 p.m. on ESPNU. The winners will play Friday at 7 p.m. on ESPN2.

The Tigers should present a big challenge for Notre Dame. Auburn is led by 6-foot-10 center Johni Broome, who's averaging 17 points and 11 rebounds through two games. Freshman guard Aden Holloway (6-1, 178) has also been a dynamic scorer off the bench with 15 points per game.

The Irish will likely be without starting forward Kebba Njie, who's working back from a hand injury.

Without Njie, Notre Dame is expected to start guards Markus Burton, Braeden Shrewsberry, Julian Roper II and forwards Tae Davis and Matt Zona.

Just took him 38-39 years to learn what play action is and how it effects defenses.

I’m thankful for the Media finally pressuring Parker on lack of play action schemes…

This is where we have gotten. Not on national television. Losing to Stanford.

Marcus Freeman's expectations were wrong. Still no Zeke Correll following his Clemson game concussion.

As I wait to board my flight to San Francisco, let's get this thread rolling with your score predictions for Notre Dame-Stanford.

@Eric Hansen and I shared our predictions in this week's Place Your Bets video.

Eric went with Notre Dame 54, Stanford 10.
I went ND 41, Stanford 14.

What say you?

Boston College needed less than four minutes to score its first goal Friday in Notre Dame's Compton Family Ice Arena.

The No. 2 Eagles kept it coming in a 6-1 victory over the No. 18 Irish hockey team.

Ryan Leonard scored Boston College's two goals in the first period (3:44, 15:59) with assists on both from Gabe Perreault and Will Smith.

Notre Dame (7-5-2) managed to out-shoot BC (10-2-1) in the first period, 14-10, but Eagles goalie Jacob Fowler stopped each shot.

Boston College totally dominated the second period with three goals on 21 shots. The Irish managed just five shots in the period. Drew Fortescue, Perreault and Oskar Jellvik scored the BC goals in the second.

Andre Gasseau gave BC a 6-0 lead with an even-strength goal 4:24 into the third period.

Landon Slaggert managed to score with 1:35 remaining in the game in order to prevent Notre Dame from being shut out.

The Irish (3-1-2 in conference) will host No. 14 Michigan (6-6-2, 2-4-2) for a two-game Big Ten series next Friday (7:30 p.m EST) and Saturday (6 p.m.)

BOX SCORE: Boston College 6, Notre Dame 1

No. 17 Notre Dame women's basketball (4-1) is scheduled to face Ball State (5-0) in Muncie, Indiana, on Friday. Tip off is 5 p.m. EST.

The Irish are coming off a 113-35 win vs. Chicago State earlier this week while the Cardinals defeated IUPUI 67-63 on Wednesday. Notre Dame won 95-60 when these two programs met last November in South Bend.

Notre Dame has scored over 100 points in three of its first five games. Freshman guard Hannah Hidalgo leads the Irish in scoring with 25 points per game. Maddy Westbeld is the only other active player scoring in double figures at 14.2 points per game. The Irish are shooting 36% from the 3-point line and are outrebounding their opponents an average of 44-32 so far this season.

Ball State has four players — Madelyn Bischoff, Ally Becki, Annie Rauch and Nyla Hampton — averaging 10 points or more this season.

Notre Dame will be without guard Sonia Citron, who head coach Niele Ivey said is expected to return in two weeks from a sprained knee.

The Irish will likely use the same starting five as Tuesday: Hidalgo, Westbeld, guards Anna DeWolfe and Cassandre Prosper and forward Kylee Watson.

Ryan Fowler was incredibly glowing regarding the impact of Tommy Rees on Alabama this year. The fact that Coach Saban nominated him for the Broyles Award was impressive. He obviously sees the job he's doing. Both Tyler and Eric were in complete retreat and wasn't expecting that kind of report. The 'persona' that Tommy will not be a good head coach in college is laughable. I'm sure he's seeing how high level recruiting is done at Alabama. If he wants the NFL I'm sure that is always an option. He's very smart and his ability to adapt is a signature characteristic of his time playing and coaching at ND. He was always tough and that was evident when he played and the teams he coordinated - what a difference in the Clemson game this year from last year - we ran the ball down their throat.

Mater Dei got the better of St. John Bosco tonight in California in a 35-7 victory for the CIF Southern Section Football Div. 1 Championship.

The lone touchdown for St. John Bosco was scored by Notre Dame linebacker commit Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa in circus fashion.
