That Pittsburgh game feels like it was played a month ago. I’m not going to lie, I think last week was the perfect time for a bye week not only for the team, but for the fans. The first seven weeks of the season have been an absolute roller coaster and it was nice to not have endless nerves and elevated blood pressure for once. It also didn’t hurt to watch a Purdue thumping of Ohio St. that pushed the Irish to the No. 3 ranking in the country.
With the bye week behind the fans and the team, all focus shifts to the last stretch of the season where the Irish are in the driver’s seat of controlling their own destiny and making their first ever College Football Playoff.
