Masoud: Untraditional moves build winning culture (Sept. 30)

By The Observer · Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2011

Cierre Wood, Jonas Gray add new dimension to Notre Dame offense

By The Observer · Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2011

In 2010, Notre Dame's offense was often one-dimensional, relying almost exclusively on the passing game for much of the season. This year, however, junior running back Cierre Wood and senior running back Jonas Gray have provided a tandem ground attack that has completely erased any memories of a poor rushing offense last year.

Women's game impressive

By The Observer · Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2011

Before heading over from Saint Mary's to the LaBar Practice Complex, I wasn't too sure what to expect from the womens' side of interhall football at Notre Dame. The previous week, I was introduced to the intensity of the men's play but I wasn't too sure how the women's games would be. Would it be serious? Would it be fun to watch?
