It hasn't been there for a long time. Not since the Lou Holtz era to be exact. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish just couldn't hold up to the top teams. But this year, they have gone on the road twice and dominated top-ranked teams.
Notre Dame used their quick start and timely turnovers Saturday to beat 3rd-ranked (over-rated) Michigan 17-10. In years past, that quick lead would have faded and, eventually, disappeared. But not with Weis in charge. The Irish now look like a top 10 team.
This has been a long time coming. Irish fans can finally look forward to a season of competitive football with excellent prosects for long-term success. And maybe a shot or two at the national title. Notre Dame football is fun again!
