We all know what happened last weekend.
A mix of poor performance by the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, the Ball State Cardinals executing well on their game plan, and ND probably not taking their opponent seriously all culminated in a horrifically ugly 24-16 win for the #8 team in the country.
Now that we know every opponent needs to be taken seriously, it’s time to wipe last week’s game from our memories and prepare for an SEC foe — albeit a team that is consistently at the bottom of the SEC — but an SEC foe nonetheless.
