12-0: How The Players Reacted

If you read Her Loyal Sons, you’ve probably seen the blog’s weekly Twitter recaps, taking the best tweets from fans, players, commentators, writers and just about anyone talking Notre Dame on game day. (Like this one from Senior Day).

The HLS Twitter recap captures the emotion – the highs, lows, and classic Twitter sarcasm – of every Notre Dame game. They will have the best summary of tonight’s victory, some time early in the week.

At the end of the day, however, you can never see enough celebratory Notre Dame tweets (or Will Smith references), so for now, here’s a quick summary of some post-game reaction from current and former Irish players.

Yards don’t matter if you can’t cross the goal line.. #NDFB #FightForEveryInch
