This game was really good for us.

Going against a good passing attack and seeing where we need to get better was very valuable.

Having the offense carry us was huge. Great game by the O. Riley has improved a ton! A lot of credit to him and to Denbrock.

Great job by the unsung heroes. Joe Rudolph, Anthonie Knapp, Billy Schrauth, Pat Coogan, Rocco Spindler, and Amil Wagner. Let alone the blocking by Mitchell Evans, Eli Rairdon, and Cooper Flanigan!

SC brought it, that's for sure. But they might be better at talking trash than winning football games.
I didn't think they'd be able to sustain their effort but they searched deep and found hate was a powerful motivator.

On a day our defense had its worst game we still never trailed and came up big when it counted.

Boys earned a rest. Then onto the playoffs.

ND schedule -

Fly back to South Bend
Take day off - go to Mass
Have another Day off and go to class

Defense shows to practice and Golden wears their ass out......

Outside the two INTs for TDs... C- at best

In hindsight and calm after being a lunatic during the game, it will help ND to have played a back and forth game. Way to go boys. Hell of a regular season.

Exactly. The whole team got tested today and found a way to win. Good to have this test before the playoffs start. Now the coaches and players know they have it in them to weather the adversity and emerge successfully out the other side. This will help come playoff time.

Went to the east coast and dominated Army. Back to campus on a major holiday week, and then to the west coast to win a gritty rivalry game. What a fun squad, go Irish! 4 more!
I didn't even think about the travel. Impressive.

Good win. Hopefully they get a good matchup for the secondary in the playoffs.
