When I first saw Notre Dame's football schedule, there was one game I didn't like. That was Boston College. The reason was because of the placement of it. It was immediately following the USC game. Notre Dame would either be on an emotional high or low playing a team that ...Published on: 21st October, 2009
A game like last Saturday in South Bend is one that takes a bit of recovery. Notre Dame fought gallantly, but USC held them on a goal line stand to take their eighth straight victory. It was a win that would have put USC back near the top of ...Published on: 20th October, 2009
Half way into the season I am very pleased with the growth of Jimmy Clausen. I see him as not only one of the best quarterbacks in college football, but also the most improved player. The speculation has arisen recently on whether or not Clausen will return next season for his ...Published on: 15th October, 2009
The game this Saturday between Notre Dame and USC will be a good measuring stick as to where Notre Dame is. Have they arrived as a legitimate Top 25 team, or do they still have some rebuilding to do? Notre Dame has some big names in this game. Jimmy Clausen is ...Published on: 14th October, 2009
After a hot 4-0 start and some thrilling last minute victories, Michigan has come up short the last couple of weeks in comeback attempts against Michigan State and Iowa. Now, an FCS team (Delaware State) will roll into Ann Arbor. Hopefully, Michigan can right the ship this week. The way I ...Published on: 12th October, 2009
With the Notre Dame-USC showdown just days away, it is always fun to reflect back on some of the classic showdowns in this rivalry. The one that stands out to me at this point, is 2005 battle that later became known as the Bush Push. That was the last time ...Published on: 11th October, 2009
Just when I thought I was done writing about the Browns a couple of things happened to bring me back for at least one more. John Flyte of Brady-Quinn.org (a site I didn't even know existed) sent me a message, and I realized that there still are people out there who ...Published on: 9th October, 2009
Last week, Michigan struggled on the road and for the first time Tate Forcier looked a true freshman. Consequently, Michigan suffered their first loss. The funny thing is, that loss was expected this week. Shockingly Michigan State kept their season alive and have a chance to get back on track with ...Published on: 9th October, 2009
It seems like just yesterday when I saw Jimmy Clausen for the first time. It was the U.S. Army All-American game. I knew Clausen would be the future of Notre Dame so I watched the game with more interest than I normally would for a high school All-Star game. Another ...Published on: 5th October, 2009
With two weeks before bitter rivals Notre Dame and USC face each other, these teams have a couple of things in common. For one, they both have a bye this week and have identical records of 4-1. But that is where the similarities stop. Notre Dame has one of the most ...
