Notre Dame gained 462 total yards, nearly double Army’s output, even with third-string Irish defenders out there for the consolation scoring drive.

Notre Dame is operating at levels of ruthlessness not seen under Marcus Freeman. Perhaps not seen at Notre Dame in a long time.

Irish eyes are smiling on Sunday morning as Notre Dame obliterated previously unbeaten Army 49-14 at Yankee Stadium on Saturday night, and moving to 10-1 in the process. Notre Dame is now a win at 6-5 USC away from heading to the College Football Playoff and almost certainly playing in the First Round game on its home field.
