The Notre Dame football team took a bit to get going on the offensive side of the ball but was still able to put up 45 points against Syracuse.

For about a quarter and a half, things were scary in South Bend, as the Notre Dame football team struggled to get going on Saturday. While the Irish defense was solid early in the game against a struggling Syracuse offense, the Notre Dame offense was sleepwalking.

There was a casualness to the start, which saw multiple drops on the opening drive. Meanwhile, the offensive line was starting to show its injuries, as Ian Book was scrambling around just to make anything happen in the passing game.

Eventually, the offense got its act together and racked up 45 points on a Syracuse team that has won only one game all season long. Still, you couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed in the overall strong performance by Notre Dame, who has a tough task ahead of them in two weeks against Clemson in the ACC title game.

So, how does the offense grade out in the final regular-season game of the season against Syracuse?
