There is no preseason in CFB to work out kinks, and Irish hadn't faced a live opponent in over 9 months. Unlike most other top programs, they faced an opening opponent w/ a pulse. One other (purportedly) top program should've lost to an opponent w/o a pulse.

Second half looked pretty damned good to my semi-trained eyes. Our D outscored WI's O.

Over the game as a whole, ND committed no turnovers and had 44 yds in penalties. Carr looked pretty sharp.

While there are always areas that can stand improvement, on balance, it was a good start.

I'm relieved it was only a half. - Revue Party 2026-09-07 14:53:02
