The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have officially returned to glory. Propelled by last night's come from behind 24-21 victory over Purdue, the Irish have once again regained the top ranking. In the Northern Indiana Football Poll.

"It's great that we have returned to prominence in northern Indiana," said head coach Charlie Weis. "Hopefully with some hard work, we can be ranked number one in all of Indiana, and not just in the northern part. Maybe one day, we can be talked about in the national college football discussion too. Because we are good and can beat good teams. Not just because we are Notre Dame and we were good in the 70s and 80s. And Lou Holtz 'unbiased' opinions don't count either."
