Fighting Irish are hitting all the right spots

IT’S difficult to concentrate on much else when surrounded by the after-effects of Sandy battering this city but I did want to finally bring the Notre Dame football team back to an Irish sports page.

Just like when everyone busies themselves discussing an oncoming strong weather system, getting carried away about any team’s unbeaten season is best left until someone of verifiable substance is beaten.

That’s what the Irish did this past weekend, taking care of Oklahoma University on Saturday night with a definitive 30-13 victory, their eighth win of a flawless season.
