While it is obvious that our offense has a lot to improve in many areas, I just found pretty interesting how dominating PSU's defense has been in its two games so far this season. They limited us to 114 total yards...and Notre Dame to 144. While FIU ran for -3 yards against PSU, Notre Dame ran for a whopping 0 (zero!) yards against that defense. Notre Dame got their lone TD from a defensive interception return for a TD. Notre Dame was 2 for 16 in 3rd down, while FIU was 1 for 15.. Ouch!
Pretty interesting domination by Penn State so far. I find it almost amazing that our offense, while very, very weak, almost did as good (or bad..) as Notre Dame did against the Lions' defense...

Good observations, FIUFanatic. Penn State's defense is going to wreak havoc all year, I have a feeling.

FIU had I believe a total of 150 yards on a middle of the pack Acc team in Maryland. 1/3 of the yards came on one play. We are a work in progress to say the least.

Did you expect a lot more? Didn't Maryland go to a bowl game last year?....did you go to the game?

Notre Dame's glory days are long gone. They are not very good. The Irish faithful have put all their eggs in Jimmy Clausen's basket, and they are fully expecting him to be the end-all-be-all of college quarterbacks. He is nowhere near that. I am sick of Notre Dame being the prima donna of college football. The media wanted to make all sorts of excuses after Georgia Tech embarassed them at home. Now Penn State made Clausen look like the true freshman that he is. Still the excuses come. When will people wake up and realize that not one single team in the country fears playing Notre Dame any more? And for the life of me I can't figure out why they are the only team in the entire country with a special pass to a BCS bowl. I hope Michigan beats the crap out of them and they go to 0-3.

Notre Dame is the NY Yankees of college football. Even so, I like Notre Dame. I really enjoy the tradition. With that said; I hate the Yankees.

I was at the game. That why I said we are a work in progress.

I was telling Miri the other day that I hope Penn State wins the national title. If we lost that bad, I want it to be against the best team in the country lol.
Notre Dame plays at Michigan next week, talk about two disappointing starts in those programs.
