The Irish fell behind early in the contest and didn't look great coming out of the gate but over the course of the afternoon, imposed its will on Georgia Tech.

Notre Dame sits at 6-1, with College Football Playoff hopes still fully alive following the victory. Here are the instant takeaways from the victory.

For the fourth game in a row, Notre Dame fell behind to start the game. Georgia Tech scored on its second possession after Notre Dame stumbled out of the gates offensively. One drive went three-and-out, and the other ended because of a Riley Leonard interception. As frustrating as that is, credit is due to Notre Dame four bouncing back and taking a 14-7 lead over the next two possessions.

Outside of the noted slow start, Notre Dame was in control for almost the entire rest of the game. However, despite having chance after chance to do so, Notre Dame couldn't deliver the knockout blow. The lead was two-three possessions for the final 26 minutes Saturday. Still, despite having chance after chance, Notre Dame kept Georgia Tech at least within shouting distance without delivering the final blow.

After starting the game just 2 for 4 for eight yards and throwing an interception, Riley Leonard found himself in the middle portion of the afternoon. Leonard completed 12 straight passes from the start of the second quarter and into the second half. Overall, the offensive showing as a team isn't going to win any awards, nor is the majority of Leonard's second half. Still, his improvement after a slow start was a huge factor in creating separation on the scoreboard.

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.
