i believe Sampson and Fortuna mentioned on the Independent the necessity of this game being early for the contingent of Irish fans in Rome for the basketball games vs Villanova.

This is perfect timing imo. Allows the game to finish up early and not conflict with Halloween night for families with small children, and it allows the team to get back to campus as early as possible before the Miami game.

Yep. Not that the experience of actual attendees is a major concern when it comes to scheduling, but this is a prime "take the kids" game for Notre Dame's sizeable New England fan base, and starting any later would conflict pretty hard with Halloweening. Especially since it can take two hours to get out of the damn parking lots at Gillette.

State of the team following evenly playing #8 in away game at altitude while much of the team fought illness, it seems, in addition to Big 12 officiating:

#1 in Dokter Entropy
#2 in Sagarin
#2 in FPI
#1 in National Championship odds

but fire everybody, I guess.

Navy is down from their usual level. They are 2-4 with N Texas up next and one of the wins was Towson, a FCS team. Defense is the usual grit without talent and offense doesn’t appear to have successfully replaced Horvath and Heidenreich. We should cruise and it’ll mean nothing as far as Miami is concerned. Have to fix what broke vs BYU and Navy isn’t good enough to road test that

I'm really happy to have a bye week. The team needs it to reset and ready themselves for the stretch. I just hope staff and players are on the same page. This is no time to waver because adversity happens in college football and in life.
