Observer Sports Staff predicts the Gator Bowl: Notre Dame v. South Carolina

Observer Sports Staff | Wednesday, December 28, 2022

Aidan Thomas – Sports Editor Bowl games are a bit of a battle of attrition with all the opt-outs, and Notre Dame loses two All-Americans for this battle with South Carolina. However, the Gamecocks will be down about half-a-dozen starters, so it feels like, while lacking their star power, Notre Dame might have an edge

ZeLO previews conference championship weekend

Thomas Zwiller | Thursday, December 1, 2022

I would write a traditional intro, but I do not have the words! We have 10 conferences to cover and CFP scenarios to think about! Ready, set go! PAC 12 To me, this feels like the most important conference championship game. By dominating their respective conferences and going undefeated, Michigan and Georgia feel like locks

History of the rivalry: Irish, Trojans set to battle with major stakes

Aidan Thomas | Friday, November 25, 2022

There’s an argument to be made that Notre Dame-USC football is always appointment television. But when it’s a consensus top-15 matchup featuring a Heisman favorite, two teams with a combined 18-4 record and a Playoff spot on the line, it’s not even an argument. It’s a must-see game.  That, among more, sets the stage for

Nate Moller | Friday, November 18, 2022

Although senior defensive lineman Ositadinma Ekwonu has had to endure some injuries during his time at Notre Dame, he has still emerged as a leader on and off the field for the Irish. Ekwonu truly has embraced the Notre Dame spirit during his time here. He described how the people at Notre Dame are what

ZeLO makes conference title and bowl game picks

Thomas Zwiller | Thursday, November 17, 2022

I will come right out and say it: This week of college football is boring. Of the top-25 teams playing on Saturday, the average point spread is 14.7. That feels like Vegas telling you that you can turn your TV off and go for a walk. Do not get me wrong, there are good games.

Study finds Notre Dame football to have second largest fanbase in nation

Gracie Eppler | Wednesday, November 16, 2022

Despite an undergraduate student population far smaller than that of other traditional college football powerhouses, a study from this past summer found Notre Dame to have the second largest fanbase in college football at an estimated 8.21 million. The study, put together by strategy consultant Tony Altimore at Altimore Collins & Company, ranked the top-16

Keys to victory versus Navy

Mannion McGinley | Friday, November 11, 2022

Notre Dame took their biggest win of the season last weekend, accomplishing three goals: changing the narrative of the season at home, defeating No. 4 Clemson and breaking back into the CFP rankings.  At No. 20, the Irish head east to Baltimore, Maryland to take on the Midshipmen. Navy is 3-6 on the season but

Zwiller: ZeLO’s CFP Rankings and Week 11 Picks

Thomas Zwiller | Friday, November 11, 2022

After a weekend of significant upsets (yes, I am counting No. 3 Georgia defeating No. 1 Tennessee as an “upset,” even though Georgia was a 10-point favorite), the playoff picture got much clearer. Alabama, it would seem, is officially out of the playoff race as they no longer control the SEC West and are a

‘I pray for moments like this’: Morrison leads Irish defense in rout

Liam Coolican | Monday, November 7, 2022

Freshman corner back Benjamin Morrison stepped in front of the pass and was off to the races, sprinting 96 yards into the end zone and the national spotlight.  “I was just running,” Morrison said of his fourth-quarter pick six, which changed the score to 28-0 in favor of the Irish and effectively sealed the 35-14

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.
