The thing that most impressed me about the freshman DBs is that they continue to make plays on the ball when it's in the air.

Also nice that having to hear all week about how MSU hasn't allowed an offensive touchdown we hold them to zero.

I find it somewhat amusing that the Irish hating Big 10 boards I visit are in meltdown mode with the disappointing start to their seasons. Only Northwestern and Minnesota remain unbeaten among the teams that aren't under sanctions, and it's unfortunately just a matter of time for those programs I'm afraid. I say only the Irish hating Big 10 boards because not all of them carry such distain for the Irish, but I do relish when the haters cry in dismay as Sparty was their last line of defense.

MSU, 50 yards rushing.

thats awsome...but then I read down the stat sheet...WE BEAT A REAL TEAM IN PUNT RETURN YARDAGE! 16 yds for ND...6 for Sparty...another 2 yds and we would have trippled them up...

The entire internet is buttdevastated. I've seen Michigan fans already talking ****, bringing up the last three years and the 38-0 (after they lost to App State).

Yea, Michigan fans are all over the place tonight. They are like the plague. They must fear us a little to come out all at once.

They're lucky they played the worst team in FBS this week. Even Air Force gave them all they could handle last week lol.

I thought I was excited all week for this game, I'm already chomping at the bit for next week!

Danny Spond looked great too...
Good athlete. Looks like he could be a contributor this year.

We dominated a top 10 team on the road at night in a game in which Golson completed 43% of his passes, Eifert had no catches, and we went 1-14 on 3rd down.

Note to pro style offenses. Do not try to run in ND. Our people are going to get you.

Wood's stiff arm brought me out of my seat screaming. Still haven't seen the cat after that outburtst.

How good was the defense?

MSU, 50 yards rushing.

104 yards over the past 2 games.

Schumate is going to be a stud. The kid has been playing very well.

Holy crap do randoms come out of the woodwork for the post game threads. Why do I bother to come here.

Oh yeah...3-0

Tomm Rees would have been sacked 7 times tonight. Jesus, noone gave us a chance this week, and we dominate a top 10 team on the road. Golson is getting better every week, is anything ever enough for some people? Golson's athletic ability kept MSU's defense off balance all game, they could not pin their ears back and attack. Tommy Rees wouldve been eaten alive. No team is going to get after us like MSU's front 7. Golson is going to continue to grow and get better

^^^^. This above. Period , no more conversation. EG's ability to extend plays and keep drives going was key. Plus, he threw the ball away well. I realize against a great d like this he didn't make all plays, but he didn't force things and our D is top 10.....period. Outstanding, play in and play out.

MSU is the best D we will see, until Okla. wow, iam so impressed with our ability to finally make a statement, and so proud of the entire program. It wasn't going to be pretty....we all knew that...but we finally took a step forward. We r not back (just yet), but boy was this a huge win.

Manti -u have more heart, determination, and guts than anyone. You are a leader beyond compare, and our prayers are with you.

A ton of freshman shout outs from the announcers-they played a big part for this game. Very nice to see.

Wood with the stiff arm-Yowza!

Was nice to see ND put Purdue away and then grind this one out.

Will be even nicer to see them sustain this grind for 3 weeks in a row next week against Michigan. Looking forward to another W.

Can we PLEASE not get overconfident against Michigan.... we can beat them as long as we don't get cocky and assume it's a win. Let's remember how the last few seasons have gone, and keep throwing everything we have at them even if we're up on them by a bunch of points. I love this team, but I'd hate for us to slip into overconfident favorite mode because of this win

Sometimes you just need to shut the **** up.

There will be plenty of time for post game analysis. This is not the time. It was a great win.

Go Irish!

From one of the biggest negative nancys on the board.

The irony.
