Doogitywoogity 2 Defense looks great and so does their HC. Offense is finding its rhythm, though the A&M defense is a hard one to do that on.

Charlemagne42 13 How is it that Notre Dame so often and so inarguably finds themselves in the #13 position, right in the middle of the ranked teams, high enough to be considered a very tough opponent, but not so high that they're ever *really* on the bubble for the playoff?

SquadPoopy 6 I don't buy it. I just don't okay? I've spent 15 years of my life watching college football now, and I feel Notre Dame is just doing the same thing every year where they just fail to impress against major opponents. Maybe I feel this way because for most of my time watching College football their coach was Brian Kelly, so my vision of them may be unfairly clouded. I hope Marcus Freeman can break that trend, but for now I'm going with what I know. This is your chance to break the Notre Dame narrative Marcus.

loganisfresh 7 A sloppy game, but as we have seen in previous seasons, winning a night game at Kyle Field is no easy task, and by the end Notre Dame made it a double-digit victory against a ranked Texas A&M. It wasn't the prettiest game by far, and it remains to be seen how good of an opponent Texas A&M will actually end up being by season's end, but for now, one of the most impressive wins of the week considering the circumstances.

throwaway_6786 9 There's a lot for Notre Dame to work on after watching that performance (particularly on offense). That being said, Freeman and his staff made the right adjustments after halftime and got a win in a tough road environment. We'll see if the Irish can build off of this win.
