Notre Dame returned to action yesterday looking to “rinse off the stink” of last week’s underwhelming performance against Ball State. The Irish didn’t quite fully accomplish that mission with another uneven outing, but they did manage to improve to 3-0 with a 22-17 win over Vanderbilt. The performance gave me ton of material for the 5 things I didn’t like column, but as is customary, we’ll start with the positives in this one.

For the last couple of summers we have heard about how good Tony Jones Jr can look in practice.
