Tight End University, the name many have used when referring to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, is something you hear less and less over recent years.

Tight End production in ‘16 was the lowest it had been in decades. Expect new Offensive Coordinator and Tight Ends coach Chip Long to fix that. Long, an All-American TE in 2005 at the University of North Alabama, coached the position at Memphis last season while serving as Offensive Coordinator.
