As fun as this rendition of the “Holy War” was, there is one part of this team that has concerned me all year and has once again failed to provide me much relief. Brian Polian’s special teams unit this year has been more inconsistent than any other group by far. There have been plenty of

They always say you never forget your first heartbreak. As someone who was a Notre Dame student in 2018, I can confirm that. I anticipated an Irish loss in the Cotton Bowl on that bitter December day, but realizing that Notre Dame was on the outside looking in was nonetheless a bitter pill to swallow.

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 their second-straight road game, Notre Dame traveled to Atlanta to take on Georgia Tech for the first time since 2015. While the Irish were the heavy favorite over the Yellow Jackets, this 31-13 victory came down to game management and discipline. On one end, the Notre Dame defense, led by graduate student defensive lineman

Jonathan Doerer is taking everything in stride. He’s approaching it in a similar way to how he does his on-field duties — minus the deep breaths, visualization and four twists of his arm that make up his pre-kick ritual. His time with the Irish has been a journey, one in which the current result was

Notre Dame Passing Given Ian Book’s status as a third-year starter and fifth-year senior captain, as well as Florida State’s recent struggles, it would easy to chalk this up as a Notre Dame advantage. That said, the perplexing thing about the Seminoles is their struggles in spite of how much talent they have, especially on

When it comes to this, my word is gospel (or so I like to think anyway). Athletes are the closest thing in everyday life to superheroes. Their physical prowess awes the masses. With that in mind, leave it to a wannabe Scene Writer like me to write a column combining my two greatest passions: sports

I’m not even going to explain why I am writing this at this point. You probably already know. If not, all you need to know is Kentucky football lost yet another heartbreaker this weekend because they shot themselves in the foot over and over again. With Notre Dame taking yet another week off of college

As the semester comes to close, so do The Observer‘s position breakdowns for the upcoming 2020 football season, though it remains to be seen whether the Irish will be able to take the field in any capacity this fall. Regardless, after going through every position group on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball,

ORLANDO — Whether Notre Dame fans like it or not, Camping World Stadium now belongs to the Irish. Returning to an Orlando bowl game for the second time in three years, the Irish (11-2) secured their 11th win of the season Saturday, besting Iowa State 33-9 in the Camping World Bowl. While lacking the theatrics of
