The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are 4-0 and it’s an entirely different world than last week at this time. Brian Kelly made the bold move to replace Brandon Wimbush with Ian Book at quarterback and suddenly the outlook looks a lot rosier.
Notre Dame put up 56 points on Wake Forest, and raised the ceiling for what kind of season this can be in 2018. I can’t remember the last time a blowout against a bad football team did so much for the confidence of a team and its fanbase. It’s its own little miracle — some kind of magic from a spellbook.
