Notre Dame goes into Durham, North Carolina, and defeats Duke 38 to 7.

I'm Tim Priester, Tim O'Malley from Irish Illustrated with Pete Samson from the Athletic.

It's Monday, November 11th, and Notre Dame is now 7 and 2 dropped the spot in the poll just because,

I guess mainly because of what Minnesota did against Penn State. But Notre Dame is now 7 and 2 dropped the spot in the poll just because, I guess mainly because of what Minnesota did against Penn State.

But Notre Dame now 7 and 2, strong defensive performance, really strong defensive performance against Duke.

Ian Book looked like the Ian Book that we kind of remembered from the past, and Notre Dame also loses a great defensive end.

Tremendous defensive performance, nine, or excuse me, eight three-outes and as important,

six more drives where Duke didn't gain 25 yards.

That's just no chance you lose a game. I think we had any plays that way.

We suspected that it could be that type of beatdown for Duke's offense, but Nordim took it to another level.

Yeah, I thought the defense was excellent. They had, what, I think seven three and outs?

I included the one and out. Okay. Yeah. So, just for, I'm talking, seven three notes. Thank you, Tim.

Like a four and outs and three. Does anybody got to call you out on that?

And then...

And then three, it was like three runs of 10 yards or more.

So it's like, I mean, that's a pretty good balance if you're...

And I wrote about this today.

It's like Clark Lee's ability to teach and develop in season, which I think we spend

probably too much time talking about,

like, oh, well, spring practice, that's what you get better. Or like working out with Bayliss in the

summer or the winter, that's when you get better. You can get a lot better in season if you

have really good coaching, and in order as linebackers have consistently gotten better.
