Well we made it through Sept without a loss ranked 8th and 4-0. Syracuse didn’t put up much of a fight which surprised me. Believe it or not they do have a good running game but we held them to 135 rushing yards. I’d give the game ball to Joe Schmidt. He was all over

Another night game, prime time TV and in the NYC area. What more could you do to pump up a team such as Syracuse. This game is everything and I mean everything to the team and it’s fan base. And to top it off they have a high powered offense led by a big running

Prime Time 8 PM EST (ABC) in the NYC area Giants/Jets Stadium against a good Syracuse team sets ND up in a classic trap game. Syracuse standing at 2-1 and just lost to Maryland 34-20… But… Syracuse rolled up 576 yards, had 26 first downs and ran 80 plays. They went up and down the

It seems like an annual tradition. Michigan plays better and smarter as well as tougher with less talent than Notre Dame. In this game the same is true. It’s another night game, national tv and a big ND recruiting weekend all of which portends that ND will once again go down in flames. Devin Gardner

Took another look at this game and other than thinking Chuck Martin was calling the plays on the first 2 series, the ND offense played very well and, of course, Golson was really really sharp. Receivers can’t drop perfect passes against Michigan. Now Rice is not a bad team and they do have a good
