Notre Dame football: Special Teams need to improve

For the second straight week, Notre Dame football had their special teams unit leaving a lot to be desired.

Wins don’t get much uglier than what was seen this past Saturday, as Notre Dame football mustered only 12 points on seven offensive possessions against a lowly Louisville squad.

Thankfully, the Irish defense came to play as they held the Cardinals to 219 total yards and just 7 points.

The offense is still not where it can and should be, as the passing game has taken a noticeable drop-off in 2020 compared to the final five games of last season.
