An unexpected ND team showed up for the cold Music Bowl – a methodical battering OL that really manhandled the vaunted LSU front seven. Starting with the new QB Zaire and 2 TE sets, the Irish pounded away all game running the ball and throwing just enough passes – some really critical to control the

Yes – maybe it won’t work out, but this kid deserves his shot. I really think Golson is psyched out and LSU would have blitzed him senseless. At least now we have a big QB, if Zaire is only 6′ then Golson is 5’8″ and can’t run. This must be a disappointment to LSU, but

Time fades and I was beginning to get somewhat optimistic about the LSU game until I saw Rutgers completely dismantle North Carolina 40-21. That brought me down to the grim reality of actually playing this game Tuesday. Rutgers does not have one player that ND would even consider and NC gave us all we could

Finally some good news. Jarrett Grace 6’3″ 250 lbs back in pads and practicing. While he will not play in Bowl Game, he should be a full go for 2015. So I would expect Schmidt & Grace inside with Morgan and Smith moving outside. DT Sheldon Day expected to start along with Rochell moving inside

The fact that Kelly and ND lobbied to play LSU as opposed to say Tennessee leads me to believe that Kelly is totally detached from reality – like Hitler in his bunker moving around phantom divisions on his war map. You just gotta listen to his press conference. Every position is up for grabs, full

Whatever you do, don’t watch a replay of this game. It’s really worse than it seemed as seen live. The defense was almost comical or reminiscent of a really bad High School team. No one knew what to do or even where to line up. USC QB Cody Kessler quipped ND was never ready at

Well, how absolutely painful was that?? It could have been worse, maybe 2-4 TD’s worse, but Sarkisian had mercy and did not run up the score further. Actually, USC could have done anything they wanted in the 4th quarter but they put subs in and they just ran the ball. I haven’t seen such a

This is a toss up game since no one knows which team wants it more. In this scenario I’ll go with ND since all these Freshman will play lights out even if half the time they go the wrong way. The key for the ND defense is to get in USC’s QB face fast. They

As both ND and USC stagger to last game of the season, the question is who quits first? Don’t know the answer to that question, outside of believing the ND freshman won’t quit – not sure of upperclassmen. Both teams have significant injuries and I believe USC will start 3 freshman OL. So that could
