Notre Dame 45 Syracuse 21

In a lackluster effort by the ND defense – they gave up 414 yards. The offense on the other hand was able to score 3 times just before the half to ice the game. Best thing to say about Syracuse is they never quit.

This game gave Ian Book 30 wins and he actually ran and passed this team to victory. Both RB’s Williams and Tyree went over 100 yards – Tyree had a 94 yard burst for a TD showing big time speed. Javon McKinley had 3 TD receptions.

At the start of the game all of the ND receivers had the dropsies or this game would have been wrapped up earlier, nevertheless ND rolled up 568 yards against Syracuse.

A lot of work needs to be done if this team is to go any further.
