Brian Kelly, Chuck Martin and Broyles Award winner Bob Diaco (did I mention Broyles Award) better get their head phones checked for tampering – it’s either that or opposing coaches are living inside their heads. Everything is just so predictable on both sides of the ball and to consistently run the ball against 8 in the box is madness – no matter how many 5 star RB’s on the roster.

Sooner or later and I predict sooner, some team is going to blast ND right out of the stadium. Another poster said Tuitt belongs on a milk carton – I like that, so true. Is he still injured or just still out of shape?

Well, enough compliments – a win is a win and we can all thank Tommy Rees who again threw for 300 yards. Memo to receivers – when the ball hits your hands, the whole idea is to catch it. Where the hell would we be without Tommy? Try 0-3.

WR D. Daniels had a great game and TJ Jones was clutch. Cam McDaniel, despite limitations is a tough kid and hard runner. Frosh RB’s had no room to run at all – don’t be surprised if Bryant and Folston hop a jet to Florida if things do not improve in the running game – and the snow arrives.

Lackluster effort for the most part. ND simply cannot play Night Games, in prime time and on national TV – scaring the hell out of recruits. The good news is the Michigan State game is a day game at ND – the bad news is that they found a QB, 4 TD passes against Youngstown State and MSU had 547 yards total offense. Time for Bob Broyles to spring into action – move a few guys around, just for the hell of it.

Items of further interest ;

Temple( 0-3) lost to Fordham!!! 30-29, we only scored 28 against Temple. I didn’t even know that Fordham had a football team.

Next opponents in a row – Mich. State, Oklahoma, Arizona State and USC – last 2 are night games and once you get past them we finish the season with BYU and Stanford. That’s 6 potential losses unless we have drastic improvement in all aspects of this football program.

Don’t mean to be a downer but I see no improvement in this team from game 1 to 3.
