I think it dropped because 2 reasons:
1. Washington is historically very good at home. Even this year, they've played much better at home, and have been very competitive in some tough games.
2. ND is underrated across the country. You and I know how good this offense is because we see it every single week, but others don't get to see Clausen, Tate, Floyd and co. So we see what potential the offense has, but others see stats and not games, so they go by those stats and highlights. Can't blame them, the average fan watches their team and maybe the national game of the week. We can't expect them to think we're good when they see a win of 28-21 over Stanford, esp coming off a putrid 3-9 season.
I think, like many others, that we're going to roll them. I mean, they simply shouldn't be able to score on us or stop us. But I still remember last year, so to me, NOTHING is in the bag. We need to score, and then keep pretending it's 0-0 after we score, and keep that mentality the entire game.
