Since Ian Book couldn’t go home for Thanksgiving this year, he played Turkey Bowl* football last night, leading No. 2 Notre Dame to a 31-17 victory over No. 19 North Carolina. Book, who went 23 for 33 (70%) passing, played with an offensive flair reminiscent of schoolyard two-hand touch, with pitches and scrambles that made

Scramble Drill: Skowronek adjusting on the fly, adds new dimension to Irish offense ‘100% until the whistle blows’: Tremble brings physicality to Irish offense Edmonds: What I’m thankful for from this unprecedented season UNC head coach Mack Brown ready for top-25 matchup Irish pick up in-state corner, drop Texas defensive end in eventful recruiting week

When asked whether he was more worried about facing off against Notre Dame’s offense or defense, North Carolina head coach Mack Brown responded, “Yes. I’m concerned about both.” The Tar Heels are sitting at 6-2 on the year and are essentially out of playoff contention. They are coming into this game with absolutely nothing to

Coming off of its massive win over top-ranked Clemson last week, Notre Dame traveled to Chestnut Hill to take on rival Boston College. This game seemed to have every element needed to make a trap game for the Irish (8-0, 7-0 ACC). The Eagles (5-4, 4-4 ACC) would be wearing their “Red Bandana” jerseys to

On Monday, following a win against former No. 1 Clemson at Notre Dame Stadium, Brian Kelly spoke to the media about the accomplishments of the team, as well as what lies ahead. Kelly was asked if he allowed himself to “soak in the moment” after beating the No. 1 team. “My normal routine is to

On perhaps the most influential day in American history, Notre Dame beat a top-ranked opponent in Dabo Swinney’s Clemson Tigers. It was the first time the Irish hosted a No. 1 ranked opponent in 15 years and the last time they got a victory over the best in the nation since 1993. The double-overtime slugfest

In 2015 a lot of leaders on this 2020 roster had either just committed or had just been recruited by Notre Dame. That same year the No. 12 ranked Clemson Tigers, led by Dabo Swinney, defeated the sixth ranked Irish in a nailbiter dubbed the “BYOG” game — “bring your own guts,” as Swinney put

I like Mike Tirico on the Notre Dame NBC broadcasts, but he just couldn’t do that game justice. Nobody could. Not even the dulcet tones of Morgan Freeman — one of the most iconic voice artists ever — could capture what it was like to be there when Notre Dame knocked off No. 1 Clemson.

As has become a weekly postgame staple, the Observer sports department sent a poll out via social media to gauge fan reactions to Notre Dame’s 47-40 double overtime win over No. 1 Clemson. We asked a variety of questions and got a variety of responses from a record number of respondents, so let’s get to

(Before I begin this, I would just like to wish my mother a very happy birthday today, Nov. 6. Ahead of my final Notre Dame home game that I will be attending as a student, I would just like to thank her — and to a lesser extent my dad, because we know who wears
