College football is back! And with it, The Observer's Basement Breakdown crew makes a long-awaited return to preview Notre Dame's season opener against Duke. But first, a foreword by sports editor Hayden Adams addressing the current social climate revolving around college football and the Notre Dame program. Then we get to the meat of the show (5:44) and start talking about Notre Dame being in a conference for one year only — or so we think (8:04). After that it's on to previewing the season opener for the Irish against the Blue Devils (17:09), followed by some predictions for how the game will play out. The back half of the show is a look into Notre Dame's various position groups, starting with a discussion of Ian Book as the 3rd-year starting quarterback (32:04). We wrap the show with predictions for how the season will play out — and we all seem to hold a similar opinion of the Irish and how they'll handle ACC competition (50:24).
