Notre Dame Football: Gold makes huge comeback in second half for 58-45 win over Blue

It was a crisp, albeit sunny day inside Notre Dame Stadium as the Notre Dame Fighting Irish wrapped the spring practice season up with the annual Blue-Gold Game.

It was a boring affair, but to be fair, virtually all spring games are for every school across the country. The “boredom” refers more to the style of play that Notre Dame chose to play today.

We had hoped that the Irish would use this game to push the ball more vertically up and down the field. There is no quarterback competition, so neither Ian Book or Phil Jurkovec would have anything to lose.
