Play with fire long enough and eventually, you get burned. Following yesterday’s ugly 24-13 loss to the #7 Cincinnati Bearcats, Notre Dame might as well be covered in third-degree burns. In what had been building for weeks, Notre Dame finally ran into an opponent that would not let them off the mat after making several crushing mistakes in the 2nd quarter.
In just the 4th top ten match-up at Notre Dame Stadium since the end of the Lou Holtz era, Notre Dame came out of the gates looking like a well-oiled machine.
