Notre Dame’s first two games this season haven’t come against the toughest competition, to say the least. Navy and Tennessee State went a combined 8-15 in 2022. The Midshipmen have a first-year head coach. The Tigers were the first FCS team to ever play the Irish. Neither has had a winning season in the 2020s.

Notre Dame continued to dominate on both sides of the ball in its return to South Bend on Saturday. Defensive coordinator Al Golden’s unit improved off its strong showing against Navy in Dublin. Here’s a deep dive into what the Notre Dame defense and special teams showed us in the home opener. Defensive Line Though

On Monday, we graded the Notre Dame offense and its 2023 debut in Dublin. The 42-point thrashing of Navy was met with high marks nearly all across the board. On the flip side, the Irish were up to the task against the Midshipmen’s unique offensive game plan. Limiting the opposition to just three points, which

Another Notre Dame football season is right around the corner. The usual time to settle into campus life before the season begins is brief this year, thanks to a Week 0 trip to Dublin to take on Navy. With the number of days until kick off in Ireland down to single digits, The Observer’s football

For the third straight year, the Notre Dame football team will likely enter the season with a quarterback who has never started a game for the program. And even if graduate student Sam Hartman surprisingly does not begin the year behind center, junior Tyler Buchner does not exactly bring a wealth of starting experience to

The 2022 season is in the books for Notre Dame, punctuated by their wild 45-38 win over South Carolina in the Gator Bowl. The Irish will replace four offensive starters (five if you count the quarterback) and up to five defensive starters, depending on a few pending decisions. In particular, the defensive line loses All-American

Safety has long been a position of strength for Notre Dame football. Six former Irish safeties currently populate NFL rosters, three as starters. For the three seasons prior to 2022, Notre Dame enjoyed the services of Kyle Hamilton. Hamilton racked up eight career interceptions in two-and-a-half seasons (missing the last half of 2021 due to

On Saturday, Notre Dame gets an opportunity to accomplish a feat they haven’t done in 27 years. After four straight Fiesta Bowl losses, the Irish have a chance to start the Marcus Freeman era off with a bang in Glendale, Arizona. “This is the new beginning of a new era — the Freeman era,” junior

The emergence of the College Football Playoff has no doubt diminished some of the shine that bowl season used to have. Everyone knew during the BCS era that only one game really mattered, but supplementary bowls still felt like they had a purpose. Fans still cared about the traditional conference matchups in the Rose Bowl

A flu bug ripping its way through the locker room. No All-American safety Kyle Hamilton. Two more defensive captains in graduate student defensive lineman Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa and senior linebacker Drew White out with high fevers. Forced to prepare for two different quarterbacks against a third straight opponent with an extra week of rest than the
