Saturday Forecast: Week 8

Notre Dame v. (13) USCWhile the Trojans have been criticized for their poor play, it must be noted that they have been missing many of their starters due to injury. Last week against Arizona, the Trojans played without four of their opening days starters on the offensive line. Fortunately for USC fans, many of the [...]

Week 3 Lessons

1. Notre Dame is really, really badProvided the fact that you have been hiding under a rock, you have most likely noticed that the Irish are absolutely horrible. Charlie Weis has been hailed on offensive genius but so far, the Irish rank dead last in the nation in rushing yards, total offense, scoring offense, and [...]

YouTube Tuesday: How bad is Notre Dame?

Here are the highlights of last Saturday’s game between the Notre Dane Fighting Irish and the Michigan Wolverines. I am left wondering whether Michigan has improved or if Notre Dame really, really stinks.

Hart’s Gurantee Goes a Long Way

Congratulations to the Michigan Wolverines and shame on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Like I previously predicted, Michigan scored 38 points against the Irish while Weis and the boys managed to score just 0. That’s right zero. So what the heck happened?
You never thought that one gurantee could go so far but Mike Hart’s statement [...]

Offensive Woes and Shades of Smith

While Michigan State defeated Pittsburgh, 17-13 and improved their record to 3-0, the Spartans were rather unimpressive against the Panthers.
Michigan State’s offensive troubles were on display as they managed to just score ten points. Last year, the Spartan offense decimated Pitt’s defense for 38 points and over 500 yards of total offense. The running was [...]

(14) Nebraska v. (1) USCSam Keller has been waiting to get another shot at the Trojans but he did not expect to aim for revenge in a Nebraska uniform. The Arizona State transfer and his fellow Cornhuskers will get a chance to show the country that they have returned as a national powerhouse. With the [...]

Diagnosing Michigan: It ain’t all Carr’s Fault

By now you are probably aware of the fact that the tradition-rich Michigan Wolverines have been dominated by Division 1-AA Appalachian State and the Oregon Ducks. The Mountaineers scored 34 points against the Wolverines while Dennis Dixon and the Ducks registered 39 points in just three quarters. Michigan’s poor played has stunned the college football [...]

Big Ten Lessons: Week 2

1. Right now, Ohio State isn’t much better than MichiganWhile Buckeye fans has been quick to point out Michigan’s many faults, their own team has plenty of things to worry about with a road trip to Seattle next weekend. So far, Ohio State has looked rather uninspiring in their first two games against Division 1-AA [...]

Henne Out, Hart Gurantees Victory

Injured Michigan quarterback Chad Henne will not play this Saturday against Notre Dame. Henne did not play in the second half against Oregon after suffering a lower-leg injury during the second quarter. Freshman Ryan Mallett will get the start in his place.
Despite the loss of Henne and an 0-2 start, Michigan running back Mike Hart [...]

Saturday Forecast: Week 2

Michigan v. OregonIt will be very interesting to see if Michigan can bounce back after their embarrassing home loss to Appalachian State. Last week, Oregon was explosive in their home victory over Houston and Michigan’s loss makes the Ducks even more confident heading into the game. Last week, Appalachian State’s spread offense caused a lot [...]
