The day after: Lasting thoughts on Notre Dame’s win over Syracuse

The Irish win against Syracuse was exactly what many envisioned this team would be like in 2022.

Even though the season hasn’t gone to exactly to plan, they have gotten better,

 regardless of how fast that progression has gone. With two very tough games remaining,

Clemson next weekend and USC in the regular season finale, the Irish have an opportunity to make a mark nationally.

Find out what has been stuck in my mind since Notre Dame’s 41-24 road win against a ranked Syracuse team.

The Irish absolutely punished an undersized Syracuse defense, running the ball 56 times for 246 yards.

Three scores on the ground helped the Irish put up one of their highest point totals of the season.

 Audric Estime was a load and Logan Diggs fed off his physicality.

With back-to-back games against ranked teams, Notre Dame needed to get some confidence heading into next week.

This rushing attack looks poised to give the Tigers problems and the offensive line seems to have gelled,

which is why you’re seeing the rushing attack becoming so dominant.
