Lynch Bull

South Florida issued press release that Aaron Lynch is now a member of their football team. In all likelihood they will attempt to get Lynch on the field for 2012 similar to the Amir Carlisle USC to ND deal . Otherwise he can’t play until 2013. I think he gets same deal Carlisle got.

Brian Kelly made no attempt to keep Lynch which reminded me of how Joe Paterno used to handle these situations–he just said No–you honor your commitment-no release.

Speaking of JoPa–PSU should do the right thing and rename Beaver stadium in his name. He spent what 60 years coaching there and and pushed PSU into the big time in college football. Never be another coach like him.

USF 23 ND 20

The day after the shock of this loss, a few things come to mind.

  1. This is not a BCS team
  2. ND does not have a QB
  3. ND has a schizo offense
  4. ND has moderate defense
  5. ND has a very slim chance for a major bowl.
  6. Kelly has to calm it down – looks like a maniac.

I think Kelly’s offense is a split second offense–sort of like a fast break for an entire game and for that to work you need a GOOD QB that can pass and run.

 

If you take Michael Floyd out– the offense will collapse.

With the schedule they have and the persistent problems they have in the red zone– it will be tough to win 6 games. Quite simply they have to have a high octane offense and put points up every offensive series to be competitive.

USF has a decent team but one of the weakest on the schedule.

So what do you do at the QB position? I do not believe Kelly has any time for Crist or Hendrix–so you go with Rees and slowly mix Golson into each game for a few series.

Of course that means Hendrix leaves. Now you have 3 QB’s with one solid hit on Rees just waiting to happen.

All of this spells trouble and with his over the top behavior he could easily lose this team.

Michigan is not USF and now I believe they blow out ND with Denard Robinson once again racking up over 500 yds total offense.

DISGRACE

ND LOSES TO USF–Same old same old—out coached on both sides of the ball as well as outplayed.

Nothing else to say–absolutely disgraceful exhibition on both sides of the ball.

This is ND’s worst showing on opening day in years.

As I said before– show me–all this bullshit about Longo etc–just comes down to actually playing the game.

They got the shit kicked out of them today by a bunch of no names no stars.

So now I look at maybe a 6 w 6 season.

Next week Michigan will obliterate them.

Sorry.

ND VS. USF

What bothers me most about this game is the prediction of a USF win by Lou Holtz. I know–what did you expect him to say. It’s the way he said it that bothers me. He didn’t say he hoped USF would win or that he would cheer them on–he said USF would win this game.

He’s been to practices at both schools and has keener insight than reporters covering ND–maybe he saw something that prompted him to say what he said.

We will soon find out. I think this will be closer than I would feel comfortable with–I want a blowout, I want to see all these freshman on the field at the same time –Williams, Tuitt, Nix, Lynch and Niklas.

If ND can’t take the 1st possession and score a TD we are in trouble. If we can’t run the ball we could easily lose.

Once again the OL holds the key to the game. I hope I’m wrong but I really don’t want this game decided in the 4th quarter–we can’t let them hang around like last year–nearly every game.

So here is my hopeful prediction:

ND 31 USF 24
