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

**Weis 4 President** · 10-06-2008, 08:50 AM

ESPN had this poll question on their college football homepage. "With a record of 4-1, is Notre Dame back?" 78% of the l100,227 voters said No. I dont think the poll was fair though. The only options were yes and no. The options should have been "Yes", "No", and "Its too soon to tell." I voted no because it is too soon to tell. But by voting ''no'' it gives them no credit towards the progress they have made since last year. But I think they are pretty close to being back, just not yet. Therefore I couldnt vote yes.

I agree! I also voted no! They are not 'back', yet!

IF they beat NC, Wash. and Pitt (2 in the top 25 AP poll) over the next month it may be a more legit time to ask this question. MSU is by far the best team they have played yet this year and we all know how that ended. 4-1 or not, beating Stanford AT HOME by 7 points is not a reason to be considered being 'back'!

I voted no as much as I would like to think that we are "back" we still need to win some games on the road.

Definitely aren't back, i would vote no.

**Shamrock44** · 10-06-2008, 10:52 AM

still no

we aren't totally matured yet but this is basically the team that will turn us around, just need some experience and they're gaining that with every game. This week will be a deciding factor in just how far we've come, if we can go on the road and beat a ranked opponent in a sure to be hostile environment then i would say we are back.
