This reminds me a lot of the Wake game we won 28-7 back in 2015. A comfortable but not terribly impressive win when we badly need style points.

Lost by 3 at ISU and beat Baylor and OU? It’d put that over us yes.

Meh, it's a 4+ loss iowa state team. I don't think beating OU or Baylor is a reason to jump ND with that on your resume, and our loss is to undefeated cincy.

I prefer realistic but I’ll take half empty

Half-Empty... that's what differentiates the winners from the losers man.... even if Virginia scores a TD in the next 2 minutes, ... they outplayed VA - hard........ The IRISH just played a team in PrimeTime, Nationally, and on the road against a team that many said the Irish would only win by 5-6 pts.... guess again

I just think it's great that we were able to put up 28 points against a team that doesn't think this game matters.

No one will ever convince me it is a good idea to stop trying to score. Put in your backups, absolutely. But let them try to score. You know, like the teams that win championships do. Look at Bama and OSU today. That’s how you keep the machine running. Get next years players real work now. You’re just flushing live practice down the toilet.

Winners would have gone up by 28 before the half then had the 2nd string in mid way through the 3rd because you are up by 42

This is one of the reason we won’t ever be considered I. That too group.

O-line still stinks. 28 points against this defense is pathetic. They should have dropped 50. Style points matter.

2 good things came out of this game. A win and the defensive growth and getting the young players game time. Shows we do have some players back there. And makes you wonder why some of them haven’t seen more time.

the offense was a D flat. That was a sad performance.
