PSA: The only reason Army is on ND’s schedule is because The U backed out of playing Notre Dame at the 11th hour. The schedule ease is a result of Miami ducking Notre Dame.
Lord have mercy.
My notes on Notre Dame's defense vs BYU including
Bear Bachmeier vs man coverage
5 of 13 (38.5%) 34 yards, 2.6 YPA
Vs Zone
18 of 23 (78.3%) 190 yards, 8.3 YPA

It’s the one downside of independence in an era of douchebag dad’s as conference commissioners. You know the finger is always on the scale.
No call. Baloney.
Given the first half, they probably didn’t deserve to win.
But that’s a terrible way to end the game.
This is up there with 17 Miami and 19 Michigan in terms of just completely bizarre preparation and play.
Even if they beat Miami, they’re not winning in December and January with this defensive coordinator.
Ash already failed the test tonight. And fair or not, he failed the big two last year as well. He is not meeting the standard. You don’t get paid for what you do against mid-tier ACC teams.
Ash’s defense looks disoriented and slow. The communication has been poor and they’ve look schematically off balance all game. Gotta sharpen things up and haven’t seen enough progress from drive to drive.
Defense is playing slow right now. They need to communicate better because there’s too much uncertainty in assignments pre-snap.
Gotta weather the storm. The first 20 minutes will take some maturity. Ash needs to make some adjustments and be mindful of the LB rotation.
Teams that have canceled, postponed, or moved to cancel games against ND:
Indiana
Texas
USC
Miami
I could go on…
Never seen a fanbase take a top ten matchup with December implications and try to use the Dukes Mayo Bowl to assign greater meaning.
