My momma used to say "Subway if you worry about something long enough, it will either go away or something bigger will take it’s place. So quit worrying."
Here are my five Irish Football warts:
** Lack of depth at QB, let alone experience. This seems to be everyone's concern if you read blogs and the media. Yeah we have Nate Montana and early enrollee freshman Tommy Rees this spring and come fall Luke Massa and Andrew Hendrix show up. There are even a couple of walk-ons, but where is Evan Sharpley when you need him? Kelly's offense appears to rely on a quarterback who has to be cerebral and really think fast to execute. That takes practice, something that is hard to come by right now, especially with Crist and his knee.
** A pathetic team punting average of 37.22 yards for 2009 (99 out of 120 FBS Teams) and the same punter coming back.
** A defense that was 86th out of 120 teams last year, with a new defensive coordinator (John Diaco) who was 67th at Cincinnati during the same time period.
** Will the Irish for another year fail to develop, nurture and sustain a decent running game, a hallmark of Notre Dame Football? It appears that their are plenty of horses in the barn and can the O-line deliver?
** Some key player is going to get hurt, receive a DWI citation, or leave the Team for the dreaded 'personal reasons'.
I wish my warts would go away.
