The 2023 Notre Dame-NC State football game definitely lived up to the chaos that’s become synonymous with the series. Going into the matchup, there was the haunting feeling of repeated weather shenanigans from the 2016 matchup as well as the whole Hartman-Wolfpack defense narrative. Both of those thing played reared their heads in the game along with some very sketchy officiating to make for a whirlwind of a watch.
Even with all of this at play, though, through the stretch the Irish offense found its way (although the offensive line still leaves a lot to be desired) and the linebackers and secondary showed up to help the team pull out another big victory.
