Notre Dame Football: Hot and Cold Takes VS Wake Forest

As a fan, and a writer, I needed that bye week. I needed a palate cleanse and an emotional reset. During that time, reflections happened. I could have gone full cynic, or taken a glass half full approach. I chose to put the previous games behind me, and focus ONLY on what is ahead.

Winning 2 games against Wake/Stanford and then beating an SEC opponent during a Jan 1 bowl game is where I landed. We’d finish 10-3 with a bowl win. Not perfect, but I’d sure take it. From there, hope springs eternal as we head into an offseason that will be full of Coordinator speculation and transfer portals galore.
