Notre Dame 14, Georgia Tech 10

Georgia Tech played well and Notre Dame made an awful lot of mistakes, but overall, it was clearly the right result - their domination in the second half was complete. The win was a narrow one, but with Weis at the helm you sense that although the team was occasionally ragged, they believed in themselves; under Willingham that was not always the case - and so they typically lost games of this sort.

Bottom line: one win down, twelve wins to go (including the bowl game).

Next victim: Penn State (@ND, 9/9 at 3:30 ET)
