With a record of 4-1, is Notre Dame back? - Page 3 - Notre Dame Football Discussion

Back? Did we go somewhere? Lol!

Just glad to see progress and am really looking forward to the rest of the year and next season and so on.

The potential is there for great things to come.

A couple of reasons why ND isn't back (top 10 consideration) is the D-line doesn't belong in the top 40 this year. The Offense cannot sutain a running game against a real defense. The defense cannot stop the run agianst an average offense. Kicking game (field Goals and kickoffs) no need to go further on that. I think the secondary and LB's will be huge next year but still need some real studs up front. Offensively JC, GT, MF & KR are looking like the best group of guys at those positions cumulatively in the country for a frosh/soph mix. We are top 25 potential right now and very possibly top 10 next year and the year after that and so on.

It is way too early to say we're back. I would have voted no also. I really think for us to be considered back, it has to be a shocker when we lose. When I consider us back is when we beat a top ranked opponent and it doesn't shock the college football world.

We are definitely not back yet. We are making progress (slower in some areas than others) and things are looking brighter. But really, I couldn't care less about polls or voters or anything else. Just keep winning and playing your guts out and I will be happy.

Not yet, but it does mean Weis might keep his job
