Notre Dame Football: Clark Lea Continues to Cement Himself as One of College Football’s Rising Coaches

Notre Dame turned in a sterling performance on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball in yesterday’s 31-17 victory over the North Carolina Tar Heels. The defense was especially impressive against the explosive Tar Heel offense and further cemented itself as the best overall defense of the Brian Kelly era.

While it is quite clear the talent and depth the Notre Dame Fighting Irish have on defense, it is equally as clear how important Clark Lea is to the success of the defense on a weekly basis.
