Well apparently, Vegas bookies also think logically and saw the corn inside of the dump we took yesterday. Wynn Las Vegas has us as a 3.5 point favorite right now.

Oops.....the line has already moved another half point in the OPPOSITE direction than I would have thought. Now a 4 point fave. Jimmy the Greek knows something.....

Veags sees the same thing anybody who knows football and watched the game saw on sat, the irish flat out played the bulls in every aspect of the game other than turnovers, penatlies and special teams. We man handled them on defense (other than one drive). Ill take that in any game all season long. The offense looked good under direction of tommy and for the first time in a long time our running game was relavent. I have very high hopes against michigan sat night. If kelly can get our heads in the game and take away the turnovers, we win this game hands down.

GO IRISH!!

our team needs to play like ****ing robots. tommy rees has to execute, and Cierre has to be the leader.

defense looked MUCH better on the misdirection in the second half, and once we stopped give the WRs a huge cushion we were good there too.

so look for heavy sets from mich, TE on the field almost every play to help with our d-line and try to attack our LBs in the passing game. that's brady hoke's deal right? pro-style O?

I can't believe we're favorites in this game. I mean, I expect us to win, and I know we outplayed USF by a mile on Saturday, but UM is 1-0 and we're 0-1 and until shown otherwise we don't deserve to be favorites.

Frank Leahy once had John Lattner walk around for a week with a football taped to his hand in reaction to Lattner's five fumbles vs. Purdue in 1952.

Michigan is the 8th or 9th best team we play this year. If it weren't for the fact they are "Michigan" nobody would be worried about this game at all. Eliminate the unforced errors from last weekend and ND will roll.

No, they aren't. I'd take USF to beat Michigan on a neutral field.

USF didn't do anything to impress me last week. They played a respectable game but in the end we beat ourselves, they did not beat us.

I agree. But you have to give it to them for taking advantage of nearly all of our mistakes. They did not get penalized very often and when they needed two or three big plays, they got them.

It just makes me sick to think that if one of the 10-15 mindless mistakes is not made, that game goes into overtime.. or we win.

I still think if we make that field goal to make it 16-10 we would've won. We would've had all the momentum and been within one TD of a lead. Instead Ruffer missed it and USF marched right down the field and stole all of the momentum back.

I was working on a list earlier.

1(a). Gray's fumble (-3)
1(b). Gray's fumble bounces perfectly to allow for a return TD (-7)

2. Mike Floyd holding (-7)

3. Crist interception (-3*)

4. Riddick botched punt (-3)

5. Rees/TJ Jones interception (-7)

6. Ruffer missed chip-shot FG (-3)

7. Gary Gray late hit/pass interference penalties (-4)

That isn't even taking into account all the other stupid penalties and turnovers that COULD HAVE made a difference in the game. These are just the individual UNFORCED ERRORS that led DIRECTLY to points being scored by USF or not scored by ND. A total of 24 points, altogether. And this number was not calculated by assuming a best case scenario for ND, but the likely outcome of the possession in the absence of the unforced error highlighted.

In a 3 point loss, clearly any single one of these mistakes would have made the difference in the game (even the 3 point swings would have likely led to a ND victory in regulation, because they would not have gone for two after the Wood TD if they were not down by 10 at that point).

* this (-3) was not included in the calculation of -24 points, because I counted the Wood TD that was taken off by Floyd's hold. Obviously, this is an either/or situation.

Yup, I made a similar list in another thread.. any one of those things fails to happen and it's at least a tie going in to overtime.

It was decided before the season, but Desmond "I'm a total douchebag" Howard tweeted Saturday night that it wasn't guaranteed anymore due to ND losing. I guess it's official now?

Mollywhop-(V.)1.When a grown man beats another grown man as if he were a girl under the age of 10. Getting mollywhopped is not a regular beatdown, but a beating where the victim is so physically or mentally incapable of fighting back they go down like a little bitch.

Watching the replay on nbcsports.... That Bulls d-line is solid. A lot of big boys. I wonder how they'll compare to michigans d-line.
