Notre Dame - Tennessee State Reaction: Was the Real Opponent NBC’s Broadcast?

Here are some thoughts on Notre Dame’s destruction of Tennessee State.

The Broadcast

Despite the title of this column, I don’t actually have much to say on the broadcast. Everyone already has their potshots that they take at the announcers (specifically Jason Garrett) and the talking points they have prepared, plus the lack of replay when it would be nice to see a replay. I don’t necessarily disagree with those criticisms. But I’m not going to add to the dogpile (at least for now).

I will just attempt to say what I think is the quiet part out loud: I think Notre Dame fans wouldn’t be complaining as much if Mike Tirico was still in the broadcast booth.
