By The Observer · Saturday, Oct. 29, 2011

Maybe you've spent a week preparing for your biggest rivalry game in primetime on national television.

Irish end fall season on high note

By The Observer · Saturday, Oct. 29, 2011

From a last-place finish at the Tar Heel Invitational to a heartbreaking runner-up showing at the Indiana University Fall Invitational, it has been a somewhat disappointing fall season for the Irish.

Gray records big day on ground

By The Observer · Saturday, Oct. 29, 2011

Senior running back Jonas Gray scored three touchdowns on Saturday, becoming the first Notre Dame player to rush for three scores since Travis Thomas accomplished the feat against Navy in 2007 and the first to do so in a non-overtime game since Darius Walker in the 2006 Fiesta Bowl against Ohio State. After failing to run for a touchdown in his first 25 collegiate games, Gray has scored in each of his last five games for the Irish. The last Notre Dame running back to score a rushing touchdown in five consecutive games was Ryan Grant, who scored in six straight games in 2002.

Week Eight: Navy

By The Observer · Saturday, Oct. 29, 2011

The Irish faced a tumultuous seven days prior to their game against Navy on Saturday. Notre Dame lost to its archrival the previous week, senior starting defensive end Kapron Lewis-Moore suffered a season-ending detached MCL and Irish coach Brian Kelly apologized to his team Friday for comments he made to the media the day before. Yet despite these potential challenges and distractions, the Irish (5-3) rolled to a dominating 56-14 win over the Midshipmen (2-6).
