Notre Dame, a 35 to 20 winner over Virginia on Saturday in Notre Dame Stadium with Tim O'Malley from Irish Illustrated.

I'm Tim Priester, also from Irish Illustrated. Pete Sampson from the Athletical. Join us in segment two.

Nourname beats Virginia 3520. They need to rally down at halftime.

Third quarter, Nordame's defense absolutely dominates the game.

And outscores Virginia 21 to 3 in the second half to win 35 to 20.

It wasn't easy.

We didn't think it would be easy.

It shouldn't have been easy.

Bronco Mendenhall and Virginia is a good team, a problematic team, more problematic offensively than we probably realized going into it.

The Norty finds a way defensively to move to 3 and 1 on the season.

Yeah, that was the second half. I'm writing about this today. It was the best, you can call that the best half.

Perhaps we don't watch every game nationally of defense over a right team since the first half of one week ago.

Against Georgia.

That is what Notre Dame has done defensively.

They were dominant in the first half against Georgia.

Unbelievable.

Heroic in the second half against Virginia.

Some inefficiencies in between.

But that's the way it's going to be.

They're playing good teams too.

Yeah, the first game really, the special teams have been good.

I think there's a knee-jerk reaction.
