Well we start off this week with the good news that ILB recruit Alex Anzalone will be visiting ND this coming Sunday with both parents. He has a game Saturday so he will miss the Pitt game–there is a hurricane though in his neck of the woods. Fingers crossed as he plans to enroll early and little time left to accomplish that. Big win over Pitt would help a lot.

Let’s see what Pitt has been doing this season. New Head Coach Paul Chryst formerly OC at Wisconsin for last 7 years or so. I think he will turn the Pitt program around and you can bet your boots he would like to knock off the # 4 rated team. Pitt always plays ND tough and even our best teams have had trouble with them. They have a good experienced QB in 5th year Tino Sunseri who has 35 starts. They have a quality RB in Sr. Ray Graham plus a big RB recruit in Rushel Shell. So they can pass and run–they could be dangerous if ND not ready.

So in Big East and standing at 4-4 :

• L–Youngstown State 31 – 17
• L– Cincinnati 34 – 10
• W– Virginia Tech 35 – 17
• W–Gardner Weber?? 55 – 10
• L– Syracuse 14 – 13
• L– Louisville 45 – 35
• W– Buffalo 20 – 6
• W–Temple 47 – 17

So up and down season but they can score points.

Notre Dame has to pick it up, continue the momentum and not come out flat and sloppy. Time to show we belong with the big boys and blow out the teams we should–starting this Saturday.

Finally time to wrap up recruit Alex Anzalone and get him enrolled.
