Keys to victory: Notre Dame vs Ohio State

Andrew McGuinness | Friday, September 22, 2023

Last year, Notre Dame entered its top-five clash with Ohio State as decided underdogs. The Irish were 17-point underdogs on the road with a head coach possessing the experience of one game, which was still more experience than his quarterback had as a starter. Though the Irish put up a good fight, the Buckeyes were

McGuinness: MLB set for thrilling regular season finish

Andrew McGuinness | Thursday, September 21, 2023

In some seasons, the final days of the Major League Baseball season can be kind of a dud. Other than deciding home field or maybe the last Wild Card spot, everything becomes clear weeks in advance. This is not one of those years. There are 12 postseason spots across the sport: six division titles and

Week 4 Notre Dame football grades: Defense has work to do up front

Andrew McGuinness | Wednesday, September 20, 2023

The first quarter of the 2023 season really couldn’t have gotten off to a better start for the Notre Dame defense. The Irish allowed a combined six points in their first two games, then picked off 2021 ACC passing leader Brennan Armstrong three times and allowed just seven second-half points to their first Power Five

After a solid start to their 2023-24 season, the Notre Dame women’s golf team suffered a bit of regression last weekend. The Irish shot 39 over par at the Mary Fossum Invitational at Forest Akers West Golf Course in East Lansing, Michigan. Four of the five Irish golfers recorded at least one round scoring 73

Young receivers lead Irish into Ohio State showdown

Andrew McGuinness | Monday, September 18, 2023

In past seasons, Notre Dame was dependent on upperclassmen to carry their passing game. On Saturday, a trio of underclassmen wide receivers delivered in an exciting way that could translate into Notre Dame’s highly anticipated matchup with Ohio State. It’s not that Notre Dame hasn’t produced quality wide receivers in recent memory. In fact, the

Irish start ACC play strong with 3-1 win over Wake Forest

Andrew McGuinness | Monday, September 18, 2023

The first seven games of the Notre Dame women’s soccer season produced some ups, downs and in-betweens. But Friday night marked the beginning of what the Irish have been looking forward to.

Irish set the stage for Ohio State with inconsistent win over Central Michigan

Andrew McGuinness | Saturday, September 16, 2023

It’s generally not a great thing when a football game ends and all a team’s fans can think is “Thank God that’s over.” In fairness to Notre Dame, that sentiment is more a result of what’s to come than what occurred. The latter certainly has some kinks to work out, though. For all of the

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
