After the loss to Northern Illinois, here's how the Irish can bounce back.
There's no way around it. Notre Dame is in a bad spot this week after its stunning loss to Northern Illinois at home last week which has completely shocked the country and Irish fan base. What comes next? How can Notre Dame avoid a "snowball" effect from occurring and the season slipping away?
The Notre Dame program needs to get back to basics this week. The fans are miserable, the media is unrelenting, and all the team can do about it is go play another game. Hopefully, the Irish can channel their frustration and take it out on the Boilermakers. I know it sounds cliche, but the Irish just need to go take their anger out on someone else.The Notre Dame defense only allowed 16 points last week to Northern Illinois. That being said, I'm sure they would admit they didn't have a great day after allowing nearly 200 yards through the air and ground and being unable to get off the field on 3rd downs.
Even after an off- week by their standards, this unit is still the strength of the team and they have enough credibility built up it is completely reasonable to think they can tighten things back up after a week without their A game. They may need to be dominant against Purdue to will the team to victory while the offense continues to try and find themselves, a task this group has proven over the long haul, to be up for.For more Irish news & notes follow John on Twitter @alwaysirishINC, Always Irish on Youtube and or your preferred audio podcast provider.
