Saturday’s performance by the Notre Dame Fighting Irish against the mighty Duke Blue Devils of Durham, North Carolina can best be described as a crockpotting. Coined by Dan and Ty of the Solid Verbal Podcast, a crockpotting is when a team slowly but surely dominates their opponent over the course of four hours, until they are perfectly cooked. Delicious.
Notre Dame didn’t jump all over Duke to start, they didn’t step on the throat and finish them late, they just methodically went about their business and beat the Blue Devils 38-7. This was a win that left most Notre Dame fans feeling pretty satisfied, a rare occurrence during this 7-2 campaign.
