An important thing happened on Saturday afternoon in Chicago — the Notre Dame Fighting Irish beat a top 15 opponent 41-13 to improve their record to 4-0 on the season. That’s the most important thing, but it also meant a colossal record at Notre Dame now belongs to Brian Kelly — the all-time wins leader as the head coach of the Irish.
Kelly tied Knute Rockne last week with 105 wins, and surpassed Rock in Chicago — the unofficial home of Notre Dame football for many of the early years.
Before we get any further, let me just say that the next statue erected on the campus of Notre Dame should be Muffet McGraw — and that should have been yesterday.
