Notre Dame Football: Irish take care of dirty business in the south with 31-13 win over Georgia Tech

It wasn’t the prettiest win for Notre Dame this season — but a win is a win is still a thing. The Irish overcame a slow start to a fast game to take down the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium, 31-13.

Notre Dame started the game with a three and out, and then on its very next possession, Riley Leonard threw an interception on a ball intended for Beaux Collins. It’s fair to say that Leonard overthrew the ball — and Collins also slowed down quite a bit. At any rate, Georgia Tech took that momentum and put together a 13 play 71 yard drive that ended with a 1 yard touchdown run by Jamal Haynes to take an early 7-0 lead.
