What can someone say after a 70-0 win in a game that everyone agreed needed to be one where Notre Dame got some style points, and they got more than a few style points? For one thing, the Fighting Irish have to consider the mission accomplished.
Syracuse was never really in this game, and the Orange knew they were in trouble when they announced a walk-on freshman was starting at quarterback. It was 7-0 after Syracuse ran two plays. It was 14-0 after the Orange ran five plays. And it was 21-0 before the Irish offense took the field.
