Notre Dame Fighting Irish Weekly Recap

Last game, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish won 49-14 against the Army Black Knights as 14-point road favorites.  The game went over the total of 44.5.  Notre Dame has a record of 10-1 straight up, 9-2 against the spread, and 44.5 over/under the total.  Notre Dame ranks 40th for total offense, 99th for passing, 11th for rushing and 6th for scoring.  Defensively they rank 4th overall, 1st against the pass, 47th against the rush, and 2nd for points allowed.  Also, Notre Dame ranks 23rd for fewest turnovers lost and 9th for takeaways.

Notre Dame's defense played fast, physically, and hard in this ballgame. Army scored one touchdown early in the game and didn't put another point up until the game was well in hand. When it was all said and done, the Knights put up nearly half its usual yardage output per game. Notre Dame was disciplined and well-prepared for seemingly everything the Black Knights tried to run.

Aside from the fact that the Notre Dame defense is playing such sound physical football right now, gamblers are also impressed with their vibe. This group plays with a palpable confidence. The players seem fearless right now, supremely confident in themselves. This group is peaking in late November, an ideal situation.

Notre Dame's offense has steadily improved over the middle portion of the schedule. The offensive line has settled in, the run game continues to shine, and Riley Leonard is operating the offense with a great deal of comfort and confidence. Even the passing game, which has its struggles at times, contributed to this game's victory and is taking steps in the right direction.

Notre Dame is peaking at the right time. All that stands between the Irish and a playoff game in South Bend now is a battle with arch-nemesis USC. A battle in which a very confident and physical Notre Dame team will be ready.

Marcus Freeman has engineered a tremendous turnaround. 

2024 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football Schedule

Notre Dame’s proud history is what makes them such a powerful brand. As conference realignment heats up, Notre Dame can maintain its independence.

Notre Dame has a total of 11 claimed and 11 unclaimed national championships. The Fighting Irish have a litany of iconic coaches in their history. Namely, Knute Rockne, Frank Leahy, Ara Parseghian, Dan Devine, and Brian Kelly have led the Fighting Irish to success and glory.

And with great coaches have been great players. Heisman trophy winners Angelo Bertelli, Johnny Lujack, Leon Hart, Johnny Lattner, Paul Hornung, John Huarte, and Tim Brown are among them.

And then there was “The Gipper,” George Gipp, who was portrayed in a motion picture. An actor named Ronald Reagan played the role of Gipp and went on to be President of the United States. On campaign stops, Reagan often asked voters to “win one for the Gipper.”

Despite their success, Notre Dame has not won a national championship since 1988. The landscape of college football has changed, and Notre Dame refuses to make enough academic concessions to compete with powers such as the Alabama Crimson Tide.

But they remain strong enough to retain an iconic program's brand power and popularity.

Marcus Freeman has impressed gamblers and fans with his ability to attract top players. Now, Freeman must translate that talent into wins.
