It hasn’t been an easy week for [autotag]Notre Dame football[/autotag], as it continues to stew over Ohio State slipping away with a win this past Saturday.
An unwritten rule in football is you have 24 hours following a game to celebrate or lament, and former Irish quarterback [autotag]Malik Zaire[/autotag] believes Notre Dame isn’t following this rule.
He cites a quote from defensive coordinator [autotag]Al Golden[/autotag], when he was asked about the Buckeyes converting a third-and-19 and the defense he called. Zaire said “it’s a heavy loss when we still talking about it Wednesday of next week. Doesn’t sound like the 24hr rule is in effect.”

Fan can still be angry, but the team needs to move on. There is another task this week, No. 16 [autotag]Duke[/autotag]. The Irish don’t have much margin for error, so they can’t be distracted about what happened this past Saturday. The focus has to shift to the Blue Devils, even if they don’t want to.
