Notre Dame swaps jerseys at halftime of 1985 blowout win over USC
One of the most famous games in the Notre Dame-USC rivalry came in 1977. The Irish warmed up on the field in their regular blues, but they returned for the game wearing green, and they won that game. Fast forward to the teams’ 1985 meeting. Gerry Faust decided to do what predecessor Dan Devine did, but he didn’t do it in the same way. Rather, the Irish played the first half in their blues before sporting green for the second half of a 37-3 blowout win. Faust explained his decision-making afterwards: USC vs Notre Dame (1985)*the original jersey swap pic.twitter.com/Rft0aMkxmx — College Football...

Sam Hartman shares his first screenshot of EA Sports NCAA College Football 2025
The early access for EA Sports College Football 2025 dropped on Monday, and many, including former Notre Dame football quarterbackSam Hartman fired up their consoles. The current Washington Commanders player shared on social media that he had to get some frustrations out, but not with his most recent former team, the Irish. Hartman routed Clemson using Wake Forest, scoring 105 while allowing 34 points. It makes plenty of sense for him to target the Tigers, as he faced them four separate times in his collegiate career, each of them resulting in a loss for Hartman’s teams. His best shots came this past season and in 2022 when they battled into a second overtime. Just blowing off some steam… 😅😂 @EASPORTSCollege pic.twitter.com/XR406xjLMR — Sam Hartman (@sam_hartman10) July 16, 2024 Hopefully Hartman picks up the sticks with Notre Dame soon, and shares another moment of him blowing off some steam.

Notre Dame Opponent Preview | Virginia
Life moves fast in college football. At one time Tony Elliott was viewed as one of the top assistants in the country back when he was the primary play-caller at Clemson. From 2015-2020, Clemson finished in the top-15 in OF+ (combined FEI and SP+ rankings) each season. Elliott was considered as someone who was going to get a big time head coaching job and he could even choose to wait to find the perfect fit much like Kirby Smart did after running the defense at Alabama.
