As I posted on the UM thread, this is one of the two games where we could see the green jerseys. Dion Louis will do damage up the middle if Teo doesnt buckle down. The offense will need to really put up numbers to counter Dion, if the irish roll into this 5-0 (god willing) a win over another 5-0 would start the BCS conversation for the irish. A win against a favored Pitt team would be an excellent way to finish the first half of the season

We will not see the green jerseys this year.

If we start 6-0...some flawless football against the cream of our schedule and some lucky breaks against USC and we could be title bound. How would that be for a first year?

this is one of two games that scare me on our schedule.dion louis will have a huge day if teo and our lb's cant control the middle,but i think they will play hard and dion is held to 100yrds or less.the other game that scares me is usc,yes they have a new jerk of a coach but they still have talent(4 now lol) and he will make some dumb comments before the game to get our boys fired up!!!! nd 27-24 go irish

October 9th is Dayne Crist's birthday. A 6-0 start would be a great birthday gift, don't you think?

Beyond Dion, the Irish secondary is going to have their hands full with Jonathan Baldwin. He is an amazing reciever and I think a first round draft pick this year. If Dion can keep 8 in the boz then we will have serious trouble containing Baldwin. I think this is one of our few loses this year as we drop this one:
ND- 28
Pitt- 38

Pitt coach Wannstedt comfortable reinstating DE Sheard - NCAA Football - CBSSports.com

8/6/10

Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt is comfortable with his decision not to hold defensive end Jabaal Sheard out of game action, even though Sheard threw a man through a Pittsburgh art gallery's glass door during a fight last month.

...

Wannstedt said he received additional details about the July 18 incident that led to his decision not to keep Sheard out of any games, but he did not disclose them.

"Hear me loud and clear, please," Wannstedt said. "After gathering all of the information and the legal system took its course, we are very comfortable with the decision we made considering Jabaal. You all know that we have had players in the past, as every school does, off the field, on the field, where it hasn't worked out. But my responsibility to the university and to these kids is to be consistent and fair with the facts and handle it accordingly. And that's all I have to say about that."

A Pitt spokesman cut off questions about the Sheard case when Wannstedt was asked to detail the internal punishment he received.


Ever the inventive coach, there's is no truth to the rumor that Wannstedt has installed glass doors in the stadium so all his DEs can practice rag dolling offensive linemennor that instructional dvds utilizing footage from the art gallery secruity cameras have been issued.

Caught part of a sports show Thrusday discussing college football. They raved about Dion Lewis. Some notable comments:

Had 48 "big rushing plays" of 10 yds or more last year.

On 3rd and short he averaged 4.7 ypc (That made me think of Bettis in the Cheerios Bowl).

Was just offered 2 free tix to this game in section 121. I accepted without hesitation. My best friend and I are going out. My first time ever going to ND.

Can't wait to see the place, but how's this for a kick in the balls? Last night my buddy pays for the hotel room in south bend. Nonrefundable. This morning I get an email from my dad saying we could have taken an RV for free.

Let's GO! Get the team up to 3-3, then we got 3 should be easy win games, and we are sittin at 6-3 with Utah, a potential statement game for BK, and ND heading into Army, and SC.

Amen brother. I really hope the recent events leading to Navy giving us fits are out of the way... Will Dion Lewis still be out for Saturday? (I hope)

We are the better team and this game means TONS for the rest of the season... I mean this is a HUGE game...

so, considering our recent history I think it's safe to call this one right now...

We'll take control early, **** our pants mid way through, let them back in and lose right at the end...

can't expect anything different until 'different' actually happens unfortunately...

either way GO IRISH.

That kinda happened this weekend Acamp.

What game were you watching?

We went up 21 real fast then let them get 13 unanswered while our offense floundered and turned the ball over. Then settled back down on offense and played decent enough to get a convincing win.

Irish win 38-17.

anyone who thinks BC was anything close to a season defining game needs their head checked...

Pitt could be that game... that was my point.

every time ND has had a chance to make a statement and turn this thing around the scenerio I described seems to happen... for YEARS now... get it??

I accept both your feeble apologies.

Pitt is NOT that game, I think Navy is a better shot at being that game than Pitt.

Weather should be good for those attending the game.

67 and sunny from now til next Tuesday.

lose to Pitt and Navy no longer matters in that regard...

lose to Pitt and every other game is officially building for the future... if we aren't there already. Basically, this game is the crossroads... which way we gonna go?

Win this one... and we can still turn it around THIS YEAR...

get it?
