During the beginning of this season plenty of blame was handed down to Notre Dame’s defensive coordinator Chris Ash with an emphasis on the passing defense’s glaring shortcomings against Miami and Texas A&M, in particular. The Irish pass defense was ranked 124th in passing yards allowed after its week three game against Texas A&M, but now Notre Dame is ranked 77th against the pass. Surely, the secondary is far from where it ultimately wants to be, but the Irish pass defenders, including coach Ash, have certainly come a long way. Therefore, much credit should be given to coach Ash for his willingness to swallow some pride and follow coach Marcus Freeman’s directives of doing what’s necessary to achieve team glory.
