With the Clemson meltdown having put a dagger in the rest of the 2023 season’s aspirations, it’s unfortunately probably postmortem time. This season the Irish football program has experienced a lot of ups and downs, not unlike what fans haven’t gotten used to for a while now, but this year seems like a bigger gut punch because of how high expectations were. And I’m not talking about the continuously unrealistic expectations of national championship or bust (regardless of what’s going on in the rest of the CFB ecosystem) but the expectations that we’d turned a solid corner. I firmly believe that we are headed in a very solid direction but this is definitely not the leap the program had convinced us it was poised for earlier on in the season.
