The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are almost ready to start the 2021 college football season, and fans all over the country are getting more and more excited about the possibilities of Brian Kelly’s 12th season in South Bend. The gang here at OFD is equally pumped, and we are ready to give you the best overall coverage of our beloved Irish in our own unique way.
SB Nation did some changes to the back end of the network, and in doing so, there are no longer the “team pages” with player hubs or stats. In service to all of our loyal readers, I offer this page as an easy reference to the basic information and stats for the 2021 season. I’ll keep it pinned somewhere under the fold throughout the season, as well as placing it in the “MORE” drop down menu.
