Irish D Gives Bees Hives, Win 30-22

September 20, 2015 by Bayou Irish

In defeating Georgia Tech 30-22, Notre Dame became the only team in the country to beat three Power 5 teams this season and the first to contain Tech's offense. After last week's breathless finish at Virginia, fair questions were asked of the Irish about their understanding of Defensive Coordinator Brian VanGorder's scheme and whether it was the right fit for Notre Dame.
