Final Thoughts:
This was a hard fought game by the Wildcats. But the Irish proved they were more talented, despite playing a little sloppy. Ian Book just played a little better than Clayton Thorson. 

The Irish continue their undefeated run. They will probably be #3 in the College Football Playoff Rankings on Tuesday. While as much as the Wildcats want to beat the Irish, they will have to focus on winning the Big Ten West.

The Irish will be at home to play Florida State, Next Saturday Night. While Wildcats will travel to Iowa City, to play Iowa, Next Saturday Night.
