I know we’re all getting prepared for the stress fun of the final half of the season. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are 6-0 and will be trying to become 7-0 for the first time since that magical 2012 season. That year, the Irish also played the Pittsburgh Panthers at home — after a big road win.
We all know what went down, so there’s no need to hash it out again (or maybe there is). It was... interesting. Something else that was interesting about the 2012 season was that even after the Irish lost, they still ended the season ranked #1 in the country.
