Last night, Notre Dame dismantled #19 Army in Yankee Stadium 49-14 to move one step closer to clinching a spot in the College Football Playoffs.

In the process, the Irish showed once again that they are a legitimate contender and not just a feel-good story of a team that will be happy to make the playoffs.

Notre Dame’s defense set the tone for the game by forcing three-and-outs on Army’s first two drives.
