Notre Dame dominating Army just another box checked on ruthless Irish march to the Playoff

New York Times  

NEW YORK — The camera found Jeremiyah Love bouncing through pregame warmups about an hour before kickoff. This week’s prop in Notre Dame’s march to the College Football Playoff was Army, formerly unbeaten and now reduced to an afterthought after a 49-14 blowout. Maybe this is the secret to Notre Dame’s success, as the Irish seem to reflect their head coach more by the week. Freeman was so quick to nitpick Notre Dame’s blowout of Army that he barely left time to savor it. That’s a reminder that don’t beat Notre Dame.” For most coaches, this kind of self-diagnosis would feel inauthentic after a performance like this, as Notre Dame continues a three-month rampage.
