In a College Football Playoff game delayed by the attack on Bourbon Street, the Fighting Irish defense sets the tone in a 23-10 win.

Among those that picked against Notre Dame, was one of the emerging mouthpieces of college football, On3's JD Pickell. Pickell is fair for the most part when it comes to breaking down games, and he definitely had his fair reasons to pick against the Irish. Although he has picked against Notre Dame many times this season ... I digress.

In the aftermath of a deadly attack that killed 14 people, officials at the Sugar Bowl, Georgia and Notre Dame dealt with a situation unlike any they had faced before.
