Normally, this weekly post is dedicated to grading Notre Dame’s defensive positions groups and how they performed in the past week’s game. Today, however, it might be best to simply suffice it to say that Notre Dame football has a defense that is good enough for them to compete at a championship level.
Was the defense completely dominant? No. After all, the Irish was unable to force Georgia into a turnover, excluding the recovered fumble on a muffed punt in the second quarter. But the Irish defense went toe-to-toe against perhaps the most physical opponent it will face all season.
