There have been a couple of these columns that have been fun to write this year, but none that has been more enjoyable than this one. In fact, I considered renaming this column “5 Things I Loved” for these week because last night’s performance was one of the best of the Brian Kelly era. Notre Dame won convincingly over a top 10 team for the first time under Kelly’s watch and propelled themselves firmly in the early season playoff conversation. There was so much to like, let’s just get into it.
Notre Dame flipping the script on Stanford
This game was almost a carbon copy of last year’s game in Palo Alto if you completely flip the teams.
