After a disappointing 2011 season that saw the Notre Dame Fighting Irish
finish 8-5 for the second year in a row, the team has addressed their
biggest issues and currently hold a 5-0 record.
Another huge 41-3 win over longtime rival Miami proves that the Irish are back to being a legitimate contender and want a shot at BCS glory.
While there is no doubting that Notre Dame is far from perfect this season, the improved fundamentals of not turning the ball over and letting the running game open up the passing attack has made it very clear that the Fighting Irish are here to stay.

Quarterback controversy was the name of the game to start the season in South Bend, but the fact that sophomore Everett Golson won the starting job outright and has held it through five games proves how much the coaching staff thinks of the young player.
Despite being benched for the first offensive series for being late to a team function in Week 6 against Miami, Golson stepped right back into the starting lineup to throw for 186 yards and rush for another 51 yards.
Most importantly; no interceptions.
After the last two seasons were ruined because of costly mistakes, the Fighting Irish have done a great job so far in 2012 protecting the football and avoiding turnovers at all costs. While the team has a tough remaining schedule, as long as they protect the football, Notre Dame can win out.
