The defense wasn’t done favors a whole lot early last week but also didn’t look great in parts, either.  As flawed as the team is, this is one of the best offenses Notre Dame will face all season long.

The key will again be what the defensive front can do.  Many times against Florida State they got to the quarterback but couldn’t finish the sack, allowing for broken plays and big gains. Can they keep those to a minimum against Louisville?

I do think it’s another game of the running game having an absolutely huge day.  Watching how Georgia Tech was able to score points and move the ball I don’t see an issue with Notre Dame being able to do the same and moving to 4-0.
