Podcast: Wrapping up the 2020 Notre Dame football season

Observer Sports Staff | Saturday, January 16, 2021

It’s the 2020 season wrap episode of the Basement Breakdown. Four of our five football beat members — sports editor Hayden Adams, senior sports writers Charlotte Edmonds and Ellen Geyer, sports writer Aidan Thomas — got together to hash out a variety of topics: Notre Dame’s 31-14 loss to Alabama — now the national champs

Adams: Don’t trust Brian Kelly to get 2021 right

Hayden Adams | Thursday, January 14, 2021

2021 was always going to be a rebuilding year for Notre Dame on the gridiron. The Irish were going to lose at least three starters on the offensive line (now four with Aaron Banks declaring for the NFL), see two starters at wide receiver go, have to replace a sixth-year veteran and a fifth-year graduate

Geyer: The case for complacence (for now)

Ellen Geyer | Monday, January 4, 2021

Arlington, TX — Theoretically, any season that ends without a national title is a failure; is it not the purpose, the ultimate goal, of any team to be the very best in college football? In the playoff era, that theory seems to stray farther from fact, drawing ever-closer to fiction as the FBS becomes more

Lea looks to go out with a bang in final game(s) as Irish defensive coordinator

Charlotte Edmonds | Friday, January 1, 2021

Every sports fan loves a good homecoming. Perhaps it’s returning to the same place you once ruled the playground, as Lebron James did in 2014 when he made his return to the Cleveland Cavaliers. For others, it’s about returning to a place that raised you in your adulthood like Dwyane Wade’s second stint in Miami.

Rees’ revenge: First-year OC out to right Notre Dame-Alabama series wrongs

Ellen Geyer | Friday, January 1, 2021

Tommy Rees has seen this film before. An Irish quarterback himself in 2012-13, he has far from forgotten what happened the last time Notre Dame and Alabama met with a national championship on the line. This time around, having traded in his helmet for a headset, the Irish offensive coordinator believes his team has what

Adams: 12 thoughts to preview the Rose Bowl and bookend a crazy 2020

Hayden Adams | Friday, January 1, 2021

Consider this column an attempt at catharsis, a medium for venting about my Notre Dame football angst. Inspired by Pete Sampson and other writers for The Athletic who do “Final Thoughts” pieces, I present an assortment of my own thoughts — 12 of them, both for 12 days of Christmas during the holiday season and

Saban breaks down offense, defense ahead of Rose Bowl matchup with Irish

Jimmy Ward | Friday, January 1, 2021

Alabama head coach Nick Saban was in his typical character as he took to the podium to address the media on Monday afternoon ahead of his team’s matchup in the Rose Bowl against Notre Dame on Friday. The no-nonsense head coach was locked in and got straight to the point, hoping to avoid any silly

Development, not recruiting, possible culprit for Notre Dame’s struggles on big stage

Aidan Thomas | Friday, January 1, 2021

Back in 2012, Notre Dame ran the table in the regular season and entered the BCS National Championship as an unbeaten squad, with their major strength being their vaunted defense. The Irish ran into a Crimson Tide team that was better all the way around and predicated on their physicality in the trenches, which led

Season greetings. A merry belated Christmas and happy early New Year’s to you and yours. We recorded this Dec. 28, but when Notre Dame takes the field in Dallas to play Alabama in the Rose Bowl — yes, a Rose Bowl in Dallas — the calendar will have flipped to 2021. So long 2020, and
