Week 4 was maybe the most anticipated week of the season so far, with big games evenly distributed from Thursday to Saturday night. Let's get right to the headliner, with Notre Dame coming to Athens to face Georgia for the second in their home-and-home series.
Georgia vs. Notre Dame was billed as the most important matchup of the early season. The general consensus going in was that Notre Dame's poor run defense might doom them from the start, since they had allowed 5.3 yards per carry against Louisville. Georgia's early offensive game plan seemed designed to exploit this perceived weakness along the perimeter, as Notre Dame quickly stuffed two passes to running back D'Andre Swift for a loss of 6 yards.
