Overreactions from Notre Dame Football’s Cathartic Win at Stanford

Notre Dame started slow again before ripping off 31 unanswered points en route to a 45-24 win over Stanford to finally give Brian Kelly his first win on the farm in his tenth year on the Notre Dame sidelines. Ian Book tossed another four touchdowns to put Notre Dame’s single-season record of 37 within reach in the bowl game (he finished the regular season with 33). Despite the 21 point win in a place that Notre Dame has struggled, it wasn’t exactly a pretty win for the Irish, but it was cathartic as the Irish flipped the script on Stanford.
