Getting the October portion of their schedule off to a strong start, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish thoroughly dominated the outmatched Bowling Green Falcons, rolling to a victory that was effectively clinched after slightly more than ten minutes of the contest. Any fears of the Irish looking past this game were dissipated, with the offense seemingly gaining yardage at will while the defense completely shut down their MAC opponents.
This was a game in which the Irish entered as 45-point favorites, so the result was hardly a surprise to any football fan. From Brian Kelly’s perspective, it’s another win that builds on last week’s momentum from the victory over Virginia, and it’s one that saw Nore Dame emerge mostly unscathed.
