How have the Irish bounced back from agony before?

Andrew McGuinness | Monday, September 25, 2023

There’s no sugarcoating the heartbreak of Notre Dame’s last-second, season if not program-shaking loss to Ohio State Saturday. To many, this Notre Dame felt different as they entered to the pulsating green bracelet lights at Notre Dame Stadium. A few hours later, the team emerged under a big, black sky with all-too-familiar emotions. It’s hardly

McGinley: Irish defense did not pass go to collect $200 — dual-threats did

Mannion McGinley | Monday, November 28, 2022

Notre Dame football has been a defense-oriented program for most of its history. From the Miami pass breakup in 1988 and the goal line stand in 2012, to this year’s BYU fourth down stop and the Clemson routing that featured both a pick-six and a blocked punt; there have been games won by the Irish

On the Ground: Maine driver takes on Highway 1, what could go wrong?

Aidan Thomas | Monday, November 28, 2022

What happens when you put a longtime Maine resident in the driver’s seat with a New York passenger on Los Angeles highways? I don’t know. It all happened so fast.  Well, not really.

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

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.
