Notre Dame won a football game on Saturday in convincing fashion against a Power 5 opponent for the first time in over a month. Saturday was a pretty good day. The Irish traveled down to Durham, North Carolina, and shut down the Duke Blue Devils to the tune of 38-7. It was a night in which there was finally a lot to like and not a lot to not like. It’s been a little while since I’ve had that luxury in writing this column.

Even when Ian Book is not at the top of his game passing, he can impact a game with his legs and never was that more apparent than Saturday night when Book ran for 139 yards on just 12 carries.
