Obviously, this was a great game for Notre Dame. They just crushed Air Force, 39-17. The offense was able to score almost at will and the defene got quality run tackling practice. And that’s what bothers me.
Notre Dame will have played Navy, North Carolina and Army by the time the team heads to Los Angeles to face USC. That’s on top of the matches with Michigan State and Stanford.
That’s six teams that are horrible. I’m just worried that we, and the voters, don’t know how good the Irish are at a time of the year when there is a chance to move up the polls.
Auburn lost. Louisville lost. Florida stuggled. And either Tennesse or Arkansas will lose later today. It’s going to be hard for Notre Dame to move up given the teams weak schedule.
Don’t get me wrong. I love watching Notre Dame toss the football around the field. It’s pretty cool to see Brady Quinn ring up big numbers and Charlie Weiss gave entertaining post-game interviews about what the team needs to work on.
But the schedule will have to get tougher of the Irish plan on becoming a national powerhouse again. I can’t wait! Go Irish.
