Three and Three, the football season’s half over for the IRISH, who’d have guessed? A murderer’s row of a start, a little luck that’s been missing for years and it should be 5-1 for Notre Dame.
What’s gone right? What’s turned to cow pies? What’s to look forward to in the last six games and a possible bowl bid?
Gone Right.
A tenacious DEFENSE, long play mistake prone but won’t quit. Gang-tackling with a vengeance and is learning fast.
A field goal kicker that has been sorely missed during the Weis Era.
A punter who is getting better and more consistent.
A quarterback growing up fast.
Punt coverage.
Kick-off coverage.
Cow Pies.
Punt returns.
Kick-off returns.
A hot and cold offensive line. Who will show up Saturday to block against WMU?
A bevy and stocked troupe of running backs that has turned into a committee of one.
Some head-scratching offensive play calling, use of time-outs and exercise of the challenge.
Drive-killing dropped passes and penalties.
A game plan that didn’t work against a certain quarterback from Ann Arbor.
Disappointment in one All-American receiver.
An all season nagging injury and now season ending for one for an All-American receiver.
Look Forward.
A quarterback that’s only going to get better.
A beatable USC.
A big challenge with Utah.
Is the current Irish coaching staff smarter that the previous regime in defending against the option-wishbone of Navy?
A field goal kicker who by the law of averages is going to fail.
A kick-off and a punt return for touchdowns long overdue. Again, because of the law of averages.
An offensive line that will shine against the four cupcakes on the schedule.
A receiving corps that will step up to the plate for the last seven games.
Learning how NOT to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.
BLOGGER NOTE: The lag in reporting was due to a six-month relocation to Florida for the winter. Obtaining internet access and setting up the subway station took longer than expected. Go IRISH.
