We've beaten 4 very bad teams [By a wider margin than all but how many other FBS team has defeated all of their opponents when playing all FBS schools!]. Our lines are shaky [You really have to stop watching football sober; the only way I can see someone would say that is if they were struggling with the DT's. Otherwise, there is no reason to decry the offensive line let alone the defensive line!]. With one exception of Fuller, our receivers have confirmed every doubt that I had at the beginning of the season [Doubting your own virility, that your penile length is adequate, and that you have any acumen or a basic understanding of football? I mean that there were few calls that we had a premiere corps, but almost everyone agreed this is the first time in years that we have had the potential of more than one receiver taking the top off of any defense. Brian Kelly also believes that to be true, and has said so!]. I'm unconcerned about the playoffs or rankings [This is a nail in the coffin! You would be the only ND fan ever, who could say that without tilting the B.S. meter!]- I'm just hopeful that we get through Arizona State with fewer than three losses [Come on man 4-0 followed by 2-3? Sounds like you have a real lack of self-confidence manifesting itself in the team you root for; to quote Dave Brandon - "You may want to find another team to root for! Good luck!"]. My true hope is that somebody quotes this in a month and mocks me for it [Why wait? I am willing to mock you immediately if you would like!] - but I just can not shake this doubt about this team [I felt that way a bit last year, I must admit. But this year? Attitude shows; it isn't just that ND is four and zero, it is that they have depleted (hurt) the teams that they have played! Last year the team was hardly in about two of the first four games!].
Final Troll score : 7 out of 10. You got a point back for being so down and inconsolable in general. I feel bad for your outlook.
Disclaimer. I have no idea who ND will beat on a given Saturday; but I like my chances with the JYD's of ND this year. BK and BVG have them hungry and lean.
