This is becoming a trend now that we are 6 weeks into the season. Notre Dame football sits at 6-0 and ranked 5th in the country. For the first 3 weeks of the year, the defense was all everything talked about. With Ian Book at quarterback and Dexter Williams back at running back, the offense is beginning to shoulder a lot of the load. However, the defense is as dominant as ever and they proved that once again on Saturday night in Blacksburg.
The Irish defense had to deal with adversity they had not yet seen this season.
