It was easy to watch Notre Dame’s game on Saturday afternoon and get a sense of déjà vu. Was this the Irish’s road matchup against Georgia Tech in Atlanta? Or was it a rerun of Notre Dame vs. Stanford the previous weekend in South Bend?
On Saturday afternoon, Notre Dame hit the road for the first time in over a month, heading south to Atlanta to face Georgia Tech at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The Irish overcame early adversity, surrendering a turnover and trailing at the start of the second quarter. However, for the fifth straight game, they rose to the challenge, responding with 31 unanswered points to secure a decisive 31-13 victory over the Yellow Jackets. Here are five key moments that led to the Irish improving to 6-1 on the season.
Coming fresh off the bye week, Notre Dame looked sharp in a 49-7 rout against rival Stanford to secure the Legends Trophy and improve to 5-1 on the season. The offense put together its most complete performance of the season, and seemingly left the media with very few concerns, something that could not be said for previous weeks. That was until head coach Marcus Freeman dropped a bombshell in his Monday press conference: junior cornerback Benjamin Morrison will undergo season-ending hip surgery. For a team already plagued by injuries, it was a devastating blow.
On Wednesday evening, the last installment of the series “Pizza, Pop and Politics” by NDVotes and the Klau Institute for Civil and Human Rights took place in Jenkins-Nanovic Halls, this time discussing “Election 2024 and the Economy.”
Junior cornerback Benjamin Morrison’s last game in a Notre Dame uniform may have come against Stanford, and nobody in the crowd had any idea. On Monday, head coach Marcus Freeman announced that the star cornerback would miss the remainder of 2024 with a season-ending hip surgery, a devastating blow for the Preseason All-American and the Irish defense. The question now becomes: what does this mean for Notre Dame’s season and Morrison’s future?
In a tense Wednesday meeting, the student body senate voted on a bill of impeachment regarding Knott Hall senator John Knott and an order to increase the student activity fee from $95 to $140. Both measures failed.
On Sept. 19, the Saint Mary’s Cushwa-Leighton Library received a call from one of the sons of Lenore Hennebry Madden '61 who said he had three boxes of donations from his mother to give to the library. According to librarian Jill Hobgood '83, they would’ve never guessed what was in those boxes: stacks of first-edition Charles Dickens’ books, as well as letters, drawings and books from Dickens’ own private collection.
As the campuses of the University of Notre Dame, Saint Mary’s College and Holy Cross College empty out for fall break this weekend, each institution’s athletic programs will continue full steam ahead. Here’s a look at what each team has in store over the next week and a half.
“Who wants to watch ‘The Apprentice’?,” and the crowd goes silent. This movie appeals to virtually nobody. For Donald Trump supporters, it seems far too critical of their beloved leader; for Trump haters, it seems far too sympathetic towards their supreme villain; and for everyone in between, they’re just exhausted by the nonstop coverage of him for the past eight years and have no interest in seeing a movie dramatize his life. However, this Scene correspondent defies rigid categorization and was actually excited to see the film. I hoped it would have some insights about Trump beyond the headlines and superficial discourse. And with “The Apprentice,” what I found was a trenchant and enthralling tale of a mentorship gone completely awry, bolstered by two incredible lead performances.
While many students eagerly await traveling back home during fall break to spend time with their families and catch up on sleep, other students will spend their break serving others on service trips sponsored by Notre Dame.
The Saint Mary’s Belles volleyball team fell to the Calvin Knights in the annual Red Glasses Game, dropping to 8-11 on the season and 0-4 in the MIAA.
On Tuesday, Bryan Stevenson, founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI), gave a lecture on his life and career as a criminal justice lawyer for prisoners on death row.

When I was a freshman at Notre Dame during the 2017-18 academic year, the Notre Dame Forum hosted a conversation with Mohamedou Ould Slahi, who was wrongfully detained and tortured by the United States Government at Guantánamo Bay for fourteen years. In preparation for his talk, we were encouraged to read his book, “Guantánamo Diary.” I remember spending my winter break working through the memoir, crying as the illusion of my country’s values disintegrated for one of the first times in my life. In my discussion group at the Center for Social Concerns, the book inspired deep discussion about our failures toward each other and the world.
Beyond a community to live in, many of Notre Dame’s halls offer student-run kitchens that provide convenient late-night meals. From smoothies to smoked meats to quesadillas, these dorm kitchens serve as a gathering spot for students across campus.
It is easy to write polemics against the fan culture around contemporary musicians while disregarding the basic need it satisfies. We all desire to ascribe to some collective identity — for evidence, see Notre Dame Stadium every fall Saturday. And there’s nothing wrong with that, this want is instinctual and like all instincts helps with basic survival. A cohesive, united group is more likely to thrive than one person alone, so an inclination to form these groups and to do so without an excess amount of self-criticism is natural. The danger is when individual identity and the collective identity begin to bleed together, and one does not notice it. In the case of music fan culture, the threat is when the fan begins to assert their own ownership over the object artist of their admiration, turning the artist’s work into, chiefly, their own cultural capital.
Someone once asked me why I do not write for the football team at The Observer. I will be completely transparent — I have no clue what is happening in football in terms of game play and terminology. Now you may now be wondering, “why would you call yourself out on not knowing football?” Well, it was already pretty obvious anyway so I may as well put it out there. Starting freshman year, I went to most of the home games but only stayed the for the entirety during the most important ones (aka Ohio State). I never really enjoyed football. I never understood it and honestly, there is so much happening I never took the time to learn it. The student section plays a part in this. There are many different aspects of it I find appealing, but at the same time, there’s plenty I am not a huge fan of.
New apartment complexes are being constructed on the South of Eddy Street, a popular off-campus location for Notre Dame students. The space will provide additional living options for the community.
It’s been over 20 years since the Notre Dame women's soccer team played the Berkeley women. The two haven’t played each other since 2000 when Notre Dame defeated Cal 3-0 at home.
The middle part of October is already off to a very interesting start for Notre Dame football. The Irish clobbered Stanford with a 49-7 win on Saturday. Then, on Monday, they officially lost junior cornerback Benjamin Morrison for the season due to a hip injury. However, on the same day, they flipped two four-star recruits in offensive lineman Cameron Herron and quarterback Blake Hebert. With so much developing at the season’s midway point, here’s a look at what’s trending up and down around Notre Dame football.
