Notre Dame football moves up in latest US LBM Coaches Poll

Notre Dame football over the first two games of their season looks like one of the most complete teams in the nation and it reflected that in the most recent US LBM Coaches Poll, but the question is how much?

Their defense has yet to allow a touchdown and when the first team offense has been on the field, they virtually score a touchdown every drive. It’s a great combination to have and it’s impressed the coaches enough to move up the rankings.

Yes, an LSU (you can laugh here) and Clemson loss helps the cause, but the Irish have played better than most teams early this fall. Find out below where Notre Dame landed on the newest coaches poll.
