It’s often said in jest when a team faces one of its subtly, trickiest calendar dates in the football season. Can the Irish beat bye week?
The key to that, however, is the Irish themselves.
Can they improve? Can they stay disciplined? Improving from this week 4 to week 6 of the football season, when the Irish face BYU in the Shamrock Series in Las Vegas on October 8th, will require Notre Dame to learn from the bad from its first four games and take the good from those games and improve.
The Irish have already shown improvement week to week on the offensive and defensive lines.
