I'll be honest, I went into last weekend excited but with low expectations. Excited for the start of college football (my favorite time of year!) and to watch the game with my bestie (fellow blogger) and our families (big deal since we live in different states). Low expectations because a lot of what I read up to the game was concern about the D line missing Nelson and McGlinchy and while ND had a decent season last year, there were mistakes to improve upon in the QB position. Most of what I researched picked Michigan to win.
But.....
That's exactly the opposite of what happened! The D line held their own. New Defensive Coordinator Lea put together a very effective defensive plan against Michigan. Wimbush played a FANTASTIC game! He most definitely earned the game Ball that coach Brian Kelly awarded him.
I realize this is stating the obvious....but I was impressed and very pleasantly surprised with such an overall great performance by many Notre Dame players. This ignites a new level excitement in me for the ND football season! I literally can't wait for next Saturday to see who makes plays and see ND win!
With all of that said..... let's not overlook Ball State. This game can NOT be ignored and no doubt Ball State will show up with their intentions to ruin ND. Onto week 2 - hoping for another great win!
