The Irish are not a finished product. Even after the win over Texas A&M, there are plenty of areas to improve.
Notre Dame picked up its biggest win of the Marcus Freeman era last Saturday in its upset win over the favored Texas A&M Aggies in College Station. This win is exactly what Freeman and the program needed to create momentum on the field and on the recruiting trail.
The Irish had a game plan vs the Aggies, executed it wonderfully, and walked away with a hard-fought, perception-shifting win.Notre Dame is not a finished product and has many areas of the team it needs to continue improving if it'll have true expectations of making a deep CFP run. I wrote an article yesterday claiming that if Notre Dame is a legitimate Top 5 team as the AP Poll suggests, it should win by 40.They are always a target and always get every team's best shot. That being said, this game is against a much less skilled roster and is in the friendly comforts of Notre Dame Stadium.
This provides the Irish plenty of opportunities to get better as a team without feeling as though anything less than perfection on any given snap could end in a loss.The more it does that, the better it wll will get as a unit. It's that simple.due to the Aggies' relentless defensive front. This week is a different story, and it'd be nice to see Riley Leonard open things up downfield against the Huskies to pair up with another relentless defensive performance from Al Golden's electric unit.For more Irish news & notes follow John on Twitter @alwaysirishINC, Always Irish on Youtube and or your preferred audio podcast provider.
