Charlie Weis lost that game. It was like a reverse of last year with the ND mistakes. Add on Weis' incompitence, and there ya have it. Great game though and a nice, much needed win.

Is it just me or wouldn't it have been prudent to run the ball & eat some clock with barely 2 minutes to play? Maybe even get a few yards farther down the field so if you had to punt, the ball might not end up almost in field goal range? Looks like even 15 or so seconds less of clock would have sufficed...

Oh, well, rah rah for the B10 & beeg bloo. There, I said it. Now I gotta go get the Listerine.

Maybe, maybe not...but they're one of the worst defenses you'll face all year. Charlie Weis might be the worst coach you'll face all year and that is one of the most undisciplined teams you'll face all year. If you all wanted to blame last years loss on mistakes and miscues (and most of you did), you have to recognize ND's many, many mistakes and miscues.

It's a good win, I'm not trying to take anything away from it, but ND was plagued by gaffes and poor clock management/playcalling. Going deep on that last drive when they had been dicing that defense up all day with the short-intermediate passing game and had been running effectively is an all timer in the idiotic coaching HOF. I do think with the apparent dearth of good teams in the Big 10 that you all could be players and win 8-9 games.

That drive summed up Charlie Weis as a coach better than anything else up until this point. Throwing downfield like that when you're clinging to a lead and have been effective with a short-intermediate passing attack as well as running the ball is just inexcusable.

Well...........maybe. Those are probably the best wide receivers we'll face all year. Armando Allen is a tough SOB to bring down. Clausen though....I wasn't impressed. Any time we got pressure on him, which wasn't too often, he folded like a lawn chair.

And I'm sure someone somewhere will call better plays than Jabba did at the end there.

Doesn't take away from Tate, though, who absolutely is the real deal.

So then, it's not just me. Reassuring.

It will be interesting to see Tate go up against a good defense. If he does the same, then I'll be a believer but two games into the season against horrible defenses does not show me anything. He did play well though.

That's the first quarterback since Brady that can count to 11 without taking off his shoes, why you gotta dis the kid? He went to 11 dude, not 10, like Henne, or 5 like Hart, he manages to count to 11. Show some respect.

Two games ago, ND was a 6-6 team and Weis was coaching for his job. "Impressive" wins over a couple of mediocre WAC teams later and the Irish are a BCS title contender? :huh:

The Irish hype was a bunch of hot air, just as I suspected. Sorry, Beano and Lou. :biggrin:

What a game, and for my 2nd time in the Big House as well too? (Just moved here for college)

I'd like to thank Weis for giving us a chance at the end. If he runs the ball instead of throwing it twice on their final drive, it was game over. Armando Allen was gashing us play in and play out and why in his right mind would he want to get away from that? Maybe he thought he'd be a 'genius' by passing instead of running at the end, and get praised for it..

Anywho, that was one helluva game, and hats off to ND.

I am [censored]ing sick right now

the media jerking off Michigan to no end

does anybody realize that their defense is still terrible? probably worse than last year?

I cant wait until these clowns run into a good defensive team (Penn State Ohio State) and flutter
