| Here we are in mid-November and we're crossing our fingers for a berth in the Insight.Com Bowl or Gator Bowl. Look, nothing is wrong with a December bowl game....if you're Northern Illinois or Northwestern. 6-5 is a winning season, yes, but it is also a sign of mediocrity and basic math skills.
I see three things that need to be changed immediately, in this order:
1. Win at home, regardless of who the opponent is.
2. Recruit talented defensive backs.
3. Recruit speed, speed, speed on offense.
Rather than bedtime stories of the Four Horsemen and Lou Holtz, Notre Dame needs to carve a new path in the tradition. The they're on lately is a dead end. |
