Notre Dame vs. Army: Game Grades, Analysis for Irish

It finally happened. Something Notre Dame fans have been waiting for all season—a blowout win—finally has Irish fans feeling more like Irish fans.

Typically, beating Army isn't anything to write home about, but West Point has five wins under its belt this season (more than Notre Dame), and the Irish were coming off a loss to a similarly schemed Navy attack. Saturday's game against Army in the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, was, for better or worse, another test of the mettle of the Notre Dame football team.

The Irish passed that test and moved to 4-6 while still remaining in the hunt for bowl eligibility. Let's break down the performances in our weekly game grades.
