If they struggled to pull out the victory, it wouldn’t stand out all that much. If they looked great, it would have been an early season sign they were closer to reload than rebuild and deserved additional consideration as a playoff contender. The only option they absolutely had to avoid was opening with a loss. In the end, Notre Dame looked impressive for stretches, awful for the final third of regulation and tried very hard to lose, but they survived and it’s always much better to be figuring things out from 1-0 than the alternative.
