Notre Dame Week 13 highlight: Blocked punt continues strong start

Bryce Young says hello to Army’s special teams with a Notre Dame punt block.

Any concerns about Notre Dame starting slowly against the Army Black Knights seem to have been overblown.

The No. 6 Fighting Irish got a punt block from [autotag]Bryce Young[/autotag] against the No. 18 Black Knights and were then setup in fantastic field position after [autotag]Christian Gray[/autotag] recovered for Notre Dame.

A good start for Notre Dame, and a nightmare for an Army team looking for a huge, playoff-shaking earthquake.

That said, it’s early, and Notre Dame cannot afford to ease off the gas.
