The #3 ranked Fighting Irish had a RECORD SETTING night in Atlanta against Mercer -- scoring 128 points! It was the first appearance for one of Muffet's teams in 15 years in the state of Georgia. I'm guessing they might not want to wait so long next time! Here are the records the Irish set last night:
