Harvard transfer Smith prepares for bigger role

The Observer | Friday, October 14, 2022

A year ago, Notre Dame’s defensive line was one of the deepest units on the team. But after star defensive linemen Kurt Hinish and Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa graduated and junior Aidan Keanaaina suffered an ACL injury in the spring, it became clear the Irish needed reinforcements.  When Notre Dame brought in Chris Smith, a graduate transfer

Lacey enters transfer portal three weeks after two-sack performance

Joseph Tunney | Friday, October 7, 2022

Three weeks ago, Jacob Lacey was making big-time plays on the field for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. In Notre Dame’s 24-17 win over Cal, the 6-1, 280-pound defensive tackle had two pivotal sacks on a day when Notre Dame needed all of the defensive help they could get.

Key moments from Notre Dame’s first win in the Freeman era

Jose Sanchez Cordova | Saturday, September 17, 2022

Slow start for both teams The game started slowly with seven consecutive three-and-out possessions for the Notre Dame and Cal offenses. For the Irish, this meant 10 total yards in their opening four possessions. For the Golden Bears, it was 14 yards through their first three. On their fourth possession, Cal was finally able to

Position Breakdown: Defensive Tackle

Observer Sports Staff | Friday, April 9, 2021

While Notre Dame’s defense has a few more questions than they entered 2020 with, the Fighting Irish are bolstered by a pair of their top defenders returning at defensive tackle, making the position one of the strongest on that side of the ball.  Last year, Notre Dame boasted an elite run defense, as they particularly

Position group breakdown: Defensive line

Observer Sports Staff | Thursday, April 2, 2020

Notre Dame’s 2020 defensive line will be vastly different than the 2019 unit. The Irish graduated three starters, who combined for 90 tackles and 15 sacks. The players that remain on their depth chart are talented, but it will be very difficult for the team to replace the elite level of production it got from

Adams: Why senior day win over Boston College was infuriating

Hayden Adams | Sunday, November 24, 2019

It’s not that the offense was incredibly meandering to start the game, putting up only 16 points and needing a questionable defensive pass interference with six seconds remaining to put them in range of their third field goal of the first half.

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.
