ND just destroyed Stanford's defense on this last drive.

Re: ND/Stanford
 

Exhale. I feel better now.

Re: ND/Stanford
 

Wow talk about a team buying into their own hype and coming out expecting to walk all over Stanford.

Re: ND/Stanford
 

Great game.

Yes, they played super-flat today. I fully expect CW to slaughter the team, pick them up, and get ready for the Bowl Game

A lot of the game tonite should fall on Quinn. He looked sloppy for a lot of the game, but he did step up when it mattered at the end.

Hopefully Fitzpatrick is ok for the Fietsa bowl. I don't believe CW let him try that second FG, one of the very few times this season I have questioned his judgment.

Gutty win tonight by a team that had about a million reasons to fold and die like last year.

Quinn looked bad in the 1st half, but really a lot of blame should go to the O-line. They looked awful in stretches. But to their credit, they picked it up in the 2nd half, and once again the offense looked great.

I think Fitzpatrick going back in was a result of some "I can do it coach" BS. Hopefully Charlie learned something and won't fall for it again.

I hate to say it, but ND looked like a Gator Bowl team tonight. I'm not convinced that they are top-8 caliber. But hell, give Weis this much time to prepare and he is scary.

Agreed, I think ND is incredibly overhyped this year but one thing is for sure - that offense is [censored] scary when it wants to be. That's what makes them so fun to watch though. They aren't going to hold you to 3 points and score 13. They may not beat the best teams in college football more than 50% of the times if they were to play them a million times in a row, but their offense let's them hang around any team and they are plain scary when they need to score.

Re: ND/Stanford
 

stupid stanford, all they had to do was run the 2 minute drill for the touchdown, instead, they [censored] had a huge play and scored with 90 seconds left.

here's to praying for an OSU/ND fiesta bowl so tOSU can show the world how overrated ND really is.

Yet more evidence the Big Ten is vastly overrated and the Pac 10 is underrated.

How so? ND went 2-1 against both the Big Ten and the Pac-10, with one close win, one close loss, and one blow out each.

I agree that the Pac 10 is underrated. But what teams in the Big 10 are overrated? I'd make a point that the Big 10 is EVEN MORE underrated than the Pac 10.

While PAC 10 teams like Oregon continue to play 1-AA teams prior to conference play, they will continue to get exactly the amount of respect they deserve.

Re: ND/Stanford
 

Yeah, maybe as much respect as LSU hopefully, who played back to back against Texas St and Appalachian St (who outrushed them).

Yes, Notre Dame barely beating a team that went 4-4 in the Pac 10 and 5-6 overall is clear evidence that the Pac 10 is underrated, despite the fact that they lost to a team that went 2-6 in the Big Ten and 5-6 overall.

It's so obvious.
