The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are 0-2 and desperately need not only a win — but a VERY convincing win to get back on track. There are a lot of things to clean up on both sides of the ball, but the most important of which, is probably creating a better pass rush. Notre Dame’s secondary has had some terrible moments in its first two games, but it still feels like something they can fix (especially if they can generate a better pass rush).
It’s the Battle for the Shillelagh Trophy, and there’s no big
drum in sight.
