Bruce's Take - Irish Shutout Syracuse in Dominant Senior Day Performance
Coming into Saturday's contest, Notre Dame was on an eight-game winning streak and fresh off a dominant performance against Pitt. The Irish didn't even play to their full potential and still managed to win 37-15. Syracuse, on the other hand, had not won a game since their 34-21 win over Clemson way back in September. Since then, it has been an absolute trainwreck of losses, resulting in a six-game losing streak for the Orange. Photo via Notre Dame Athletics So, it was expecte

Do the Irish Have a Miami Problem? Analyzing Notre Dame's Current CFP Standing
Coming off a dominant showing against Pitt, Notre Dame stayed put in the newest CFP rankings. Currently ranked ninth in the country, Notre Dame currently resides in a playoff spot, but is Miami's rise in the rankings cause for concern?

Bruce's Take - Notre Dame Pummels Pitt 37-15 in Dominant Road Performance
Coming into this game, there was a lot of weirdness to start the week with Pitt Head Coach Pat Narduzzi stating that "It is not an ACC game. I'd gladly get beaten 103 or 110 -10 in that game. They could put up 100 on us as long as we win the next two after that." Photo via Notre Dame Athletics If that wasn't bad enough, he appeared on the Pat McAfee show and explained that the statement was made because he was "trying to take the pressure off the team," and then followed it u

Unstoppable Force vs Immovable Object or Jeremiyah Love vs Pitt's Front Seven - Breaking Down the Panthers' Defense
Irish RB Jeremiyah Love, a potential Heisman candidate, could be tasked with his biggest test since last season’s National Championship against Ohio State. While Pitt’s secondary has been prone to mistakes, their run defense is among the best in the country, with good run-stoppers at nearly every level. The Panthers’ ability to limit opposing teams' top rushers has no doubt been a factor in their current five-game winning streak.

Coming off a bye week, it was expected that Notre Dame would make easy work of Boston College, but that wasn't the case, which left many wondering: What the heck happened during that bye week, and did the Irish even prepare at all?
