Notre Dame Fighting Irish defeat Air Force Falcons

Notre Dame Football Tickets are available for the upcoming November 18 game against the Army Black Knights at Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, IN. Fans are spending anywhere from $91 to $425 for seats as the Irish look to keep their winning ways going. The Irish trounced on the Air Force Falcons yesterday and won with a score of 39 – 17.

While Air Force fans tend to exhibit a good deal of emotion after losing at home, both fans and players seemed somewhat sedate after falling to the Fighting Irish. It’s as if, “It’s okay to lose to the No. 9 team in the country” has become the mantra of our Air Force Academy. Anyone else bothered by this prevailing ideology?

Maybe. Or maybe not. It is worth noting, however, that members of the Air Force cheerleading squad scrambled onto the field after the game to have their photos taken with members of the Fighting Irish football team. Whatever the case may be, the Fighting Irish continue to impress.

Brady Quinn took the lead for the Fighting Irish and never let go

The 9-1 Irish have secured back-to-back nine-win seasons for the first time in 13 years yesterday. Brady Quinn threw for 207 yards and four touchdowns as Darius Walker rushed for 153 yards and a touchdown. Jeff Samardzija caught six passes for 106 yards and a touchdown. Notre Dame improved to 35-and-one against the Air Force. If the Falcons had any hope of knocking down the Irish, they had to play next-to-perfect football. They didn’t even come close.
