I woke up this morning so in shock over Notre Dame’s loss to Stanford that I just started laughing to myself.
“Did that really happen? Like for real?”
Oh it’s real, but its anything but spectacular.
Notre Dame now sits at 3-3 halfway through the season after being ranked in the preseason top five. This isn’t to say the season is over, there are still things to play for like bowl eligibility that suddenly doesn’t feel so automatic, and plenty of things in terms of longterm development.
The 16-14 loss is incredibly frustrating though seeing as it came against one of the very worst Power Five teams in all of college football.
Here are a little more than a handful of thoughts a day after Notre Dame embarrassed themselves in that home loss to Stanford.
