The problem here is that ND's offense can match up with any defense and score. 21 points against SC is monumental. The problem is that, with this defense, we need to be able to score 30+ every game and this USC defense (or any SC defense over the last 5 years) isn't going to give up 30+.

I blame Charlie in so much as he's the head coach and is responsible for the overall organization (like a CEO). But I'm not going to blame Charlie for the sake of head hunting.

True. He still should've kicked the field goal though. There's still plenty of time. Our defense is just horrible today though. Nice.....block EP. We need a TO.

I haven't had the opportunity to be around other ND fans in my life. Growing up in Louisiana, there just aren't any around.

But not until I started reading this board did I realize how obnoxious a lot of Irish fans are. I know every team has them (I've been around LSU fans all my life), but I guess I'd like to think ND fans are better. I'm starting to think in general it's worse. Some of you guys are really deplorable.

Don't judge the whole community based on a couple people. Especially in the heat of gametime. Come back later and cooler heads prevail.

Gotta hope for a miracle defensive turn around and a score on our next two of our next three possessions (I figure we have three more shots). So the defense is going to need to stop USC from here on out. Frankly, I don't see the secondary miraculously learning how to cover people.

The Defense doesn't have to stop them - because they can't - they just need a big play and some luck to get the ball back.

At least the team isn't giving up, they are showing heart and that is an improvement over the past few years. (still not happy about the score though)

It isn't all of us. I would suggest forgiveness, but true fans support, and bandwagoneers bitch and moan until they are dead. I suggest selective reading and hearing.

One key to watch for is the defense trying to rip the ball loose. This defense needs to tackle now and worry about creating a fumble if SC gets the ball back up by one score in the last five minutes. But for now the defense needs to tackle and force a punt....worry about creating a TO later.

We can still do it. Clausen is going to get to throw one more time.

How much has he thrown for? 175? 200?
