Notre Dame Wins!!… Second Half

The University of Notre Dame football team finally started paying like it could win a football game this past Saturday. It was a shame, however, that it happened in the second half of their latest game versus Perdue, after the Boilermakers had already scored 23 unanswered points in the first half. The Fighting Irish after the halftime break were a different team than we had seen in any of their previous four games. They scored three touchdowns, came up big when they needed to make plays, and even held their opponents to just 10 points. For a while, even, it was within the realm of possibilities that the Irish might be able to pull off an upset. But an untimely interception and a Boilermaker touchdown in the closing minutes of the game sealed the latest loss for Notre Dame.

The Irish are now 0-5, the first time that has happened in their remarkable college football history. Every game they lose is the first time this has happened. The schedule for the Irish does not get much better immediately. They will play UCLA, No. 7 Boston College and No. 1 USC for their next three games. There were definitely positive things to point to in this one, but everybody in Notre Dame fandom is anxious for a real win.
