Hey Charlie, I just re-watched the game too. Let me help you with some things:
1. Single coverage on Ted Ginn Jr. is probably a little too casual, especially when that single guy you have covering him is looking at the QB and not at the receiver.
2. Tell your DE not to chase the running play to his far side, especially when we have our number 2 tailback in the game. It makes you a little vulnerable to the end-around.
3. Watch for the play-action when we have the 3 receivers bunched up near the tackle on one side of the field. Oh, and get a faster safety.
4. Tell your DB's not to ever assume that Troy Smith is going to get sacked. He has a habit of escaping pressure and delivering the ball downfield. Watch for #11 in that situation.
5. Don't even think about joining the Big 10. It's probably just as well that you don't play us every year. You'll have better luck against the USC's of the world.
:oh: :io:

I like how Charlie mentions how his defense needs work for next year.

Oh wait...he didn't.

There was a guy at the party we had at our place last night who's two favorite teams were Michigan and Notre Dame. Oh if there ever wasl a sweeter time to pull up the scUM game and the Fiesta Bowl up on the DVR. We watched every play and it was glorious to watch him squirm. He couldn't leave cause we were lettin him drink our beer. His best comment of the night: "I don't think we'll need all that great of a defense to be succesful next year."

To that we all simultaneously said "600-fucking-yards of offense. 600!"

Found this on SI.com regarding the Top 10 Spring storylines...

Here's the thing about the Irish: In a year when seemingly everybody's been hurt by graduation and draft defections, Charlie Weis' team appears to be loaded. Notre Dame welcomes back 15 starters, including stars Brady Quinn, Jeff Samardzija and Darius Walker. Anyone who watched the Fiesta Bowl, however, has a hard time shaking the image of Ohio State receivers Ted Ginn Jr. and Santonio Holmes racing past Notre Dame defenders who had apparently stopped to admire the view. Last year's starting cornerbacks, Mike Richardson and Ambrose Wooden, both return, and while an added year's experience should certainly help, there's no substitute for speed. U.S. Army All-America Raeshon McNeil arrives in the fall. In the meantime, untested youngsters like sophomore Leo Ferrine should get a hard look in the spring.

I don't know if I'd say I'm having a hard time shaking those images, I'm too busy trying to remember how much I admired the view. I think he meant to say ND fans can't shake the nightmares... :biggrin:

Don't sell us short. "619-fucking-yards of offense. 619!"
