ND is going to the playoffs.
It's nice knowing that on September 1st.
The drive for 5 (seed) has begun.
Nothing beats grabbing a road SEC win and still having a mountain of things to improve on. This team should be really good by November.

Could not agree more with this. Wasn't perfect by any stretch. But there is PLENTY
to be excited about: 1) New OC who knows what he's doing, 2) new O-line gave up ZERO sacks and got us nearly 200 yards rushing against a stout defense, 3) on the road in a hostile environment, 4) WELL conditioned, 5) played physical ball, 6) did NOT seemed to be intimidated by being in the moment, 7) ZERO turnovers. I give props to our offense for not bludgeoning that DB (Brooks) who targeted Leonard.
Leonard seemed to be a little off on his timing with the receivers and / or his accuracy wasn't crisp. The running game picked up as the OL got more game-comfortable. I think the OL will be fine as long as they stay focused. I watched our RIGHT tackle a time or two and he stopped his guy dead in his tracks. Penalties hurt us a time or two, especially early on as we got used to the noise. Without question MF had them ready to play.
That was a huge, momentum-grabbing win. I'm psyched.
Slow your roll. 1 week at a time. GO IRISH GO

It is fun to have such hopes...Just remember there's a lot of FB to be played and layer in the fact-
we're dealing with 19, 20, 21 year olds - unfortunately, a lot can go wrong between now and November. Hope not
