I have been thinking all week how weird it was that it’s week four and I don’t know how good Notre Dame is at football. I know how good they can be. Georgia showed us that. I also know how inconsistent they can be. Louisville provided us that data point. New Mexico predictably showed us not much, so here we are, in week 4, slightly unsure as to what the upcoming game against the undefeated and 18th ranked Virginia Cavaliers will bring. Seems a little odd.
But, we’ve been here before. Very recently.
Last season Notre Dame opened with a big win over Michigan, followed by two games that were anything but impressive over Ball State and Vanderbilt.
