The Good, The Bad & the Ugly - Miami of Ohio
The Good - The 52 point the Irish were able to put up against Miami of Ohio. A ranked, top tier program such as Notre Dame should be putting up those kind of numbers against a team from the MAC, unfortunately the Irish have not always done that.
The Bad - Injuries. Josh Adams had an ankle injury and Tony Jones Jr. got shaken up, both are expected (along with Dexter Williams) back next week.
The Ugly - Missed field goal. In and of itself is not a huge issue but Yoon seems a bit off this season and that might hurt the Irish down the road.
