Miami’s QB is subject to numerous mistakes/turnovers. I’m certain ND’s defense will take advantage of this. plus, I just looked up the Canes schedule and they haven’t played anybody. I don’t want to jinx the Irish, but being realistic, this game won’t even be close.

I found the 2nd half defensive performance shocking to say the least. I have a familiar feeling of doubt creeping in
and find myself wondering if this is the beginning of bad things to come on defense. The second half was
deplorable and inexcusable after all the yeah yeah stuff on how focused the Irish were this year….blah blah blah. The killer
mentality still escapes the Irish – they still have yet to get that signature win. Will it be this Saturday night?
Were they looking ahead and why on earth why, if that was the case?

Regarding our play in the WF game, BK says the players were distracted with things like exams, academics, studying for engineering exams, our D captain was up until 3 a.m. studying Friday night before the game, and he concludes that this is life as a college student at ND. I don’t think the Hurricanes would understand that. In any event, BK says those distractions will not occur during the Miami game. Look out Canes!!

I don’t think ND’s defense took the day off. More correctly, they took the second half off after the outcome of the game was well in hand.

Style points will not matter this coming weekend. Any kind of win will do the job. Miami hadn’t played much of anyone before VT last wekend. To those worried about NDs status we are fine. I mean the reason we opened at 3 is because we have trahsed a lot of ‘good’ teams and lost to #1 by 1. When teams ND trashed BC, NCST, Wake all gave Clemson closer games than us, I think we are fine image wise.

To me this is the biggest test in the history of Kelly @ ND. Not biggest game but the biggest test. We are #3 going on the road against #7 (likely) in a season defining game. The resulsts have not been good in the 25 years since the days of Lou. Yet this team is different. This team runs and plays sound D.This team has electric players on both sides. This team is deep and willful. I thimk this team may breakmthe curse but only 13-1 and a NC will do.

What always scares me are two things: turnovers and injuries. I have not watched a bloody minute of Miami so I’m talking blind. However, from pre-season I have said to lose we’ll have to give up a ton of points (sans UGA) as if we take care of the ball we’re going to put up 40. And remember, we scored five effing times against UGA and only posted 19 points. This is unequivocally the most explosive offense BK has ever had with four or five RB’s beside Josh who can flat out eat up yardage. Now, if only our wideouts would apply a bit more stickum, well, you get the picture. And oh how I’d love to see our D line do something, anything to get the announcers to say their names. How ’bout meeting at the QB once and awhile. 38-21, sports fans.

Mike, great read! Please do this more often. You cut through the hide, the muscle and straight through to the heart of the condition of our beloved Fighting Irish of Notre Dame.
Godspeed to Mr Prister.

We have been here before. Under BK in eight years we have a few teams
With great talent not coming to fruition at the end when it counts. WF ripping our defense at home does not bode well. Miami and Stanford will be the last tests. I only hope that if we win out we will not be blown out in a playoff or bowl game like the history of BK in his tenure. Let’s just watch and see. Love the Irish …but I wonder how we beat Alabama or Georgia or anyone without convincing wins the rest
of the season. WF should have been dispatched. I don’t see how the best teams in the nation would have not crushed WF.

My opinion on this matter is on hold for the rest of the campaign…..ND wins out! As long as our star players stay healthy we should win out. Even though ND has some amazing back-ups chomping at the bit, I hope we stay healthy. The game that bothers me the most is Navy. Not too many years ago and due to their chop blocking style they knocked out 3 or 4 of ND’s cream of the crop with injuries. Stanford has 3 losses already so why not a 4th courtesy of the Irish. The only way ND loses is if the players lose that spark that they’ve been playing with.
