Notre Dame Football: Irish Squeeze the Orange in the Bronx

A much anticipated November college football game was played in, wait for it, Yankee Stadium. Notre Dame football made a statement with a 36-3 victory over Syracuse that brought them one step closer to the College Football Playoff.

Here is how it all went down in the Big Apple.
