That has got to be two of the most inept major teams I have seen this year. That game was so bad it was exciting... is that possible?. ND may have the worst run defense of any top 20 team I have ever seen. Go for it on 4th and 8 in the middle of the 3rd quarter behind by 10? Why... cause you cant stop the run unless every man is on the line of scrimmage.
ND is going to get crushed later on. Good luck ND fans, you got a long season ahead.

Michigan State... consistently stupid plays. Good Lord on the last drive before the int. occured one of their WR tried to say INBOUNDS when they got like 40 seconds left and one time out. That has either got to be one of the worst coached top programs I have seen or they recruit kids that have had brain trauma. I am so sorry for anyone that is a fan of this team. What a pitiful mental performance.

Mich ST. pulled the same stupidity last year but ended up winning the game anyway because ND's defense was so bad.

A bad good game.

P your much too hard on them. Were there mistakes made? Of course, but after 3 hours of grueling football in a freaking monsoon, it has to take its toll. The run defense is bad only because they have to cover their poor ass corners.The big kid from michigan is just a freaking beats. What like 6-4 250 and runs a 4.5 40. Thats only moderately scary. At least they scored points, I'll take a game like this over a game like LSU-AUB last week.

P look at Notre Dames schedule, who's going to beat them? Purdue is the worst undefeated team in history, Stanford's team is just horrific-UCLA was proven to be fraud today. They have no defense. All Navy does is run, that means the corners can't get beat on double moves, which means more men in the box. Easy win. North Carolina, uh ya what can ya say. Air force is playing solid just not enough talent to keep up. Army sucks like always. That leaves us with USC which could quite possibly beat them, but i haven't been super impressed with them this year.

So even if one of those middle teams beat them and they lose to USC they go 9-3. Not a superstar year but by no means horrible. They could very easily go 11-1 as well. This huge win gives the confidence back to the offense and defense after they were handed their asses by michigan.

Good analysis Skippy

ND is not a great team but they are certainly a top 15 team. The remaining schedule is pretty soft with the exception of USC on the road. Looks like 10-2 with a date in the Orange or Rose bowl.

Grueling? Mich St. was moving the ball at will. And then they go into a shell. They did exactly the same thing last year. Exactly.
Did you see that kick off return where the kid just took a knee? OMG the mistakes went on forever. The number of Mich State fans that will commit suicide tonight should be at an all time high, but I have a feeling all attempts will be botched so the student body has that going for them. Dont fret East Lansing parents, your kids will be fine.
Skips that was and absolutely horribly played game. The weather should not affect the ability to think straight. ND is flat out bad. They just are. They will find a way to lose. They tried so hard to lose tonight, but Mich St. refused to let them.
Weiss is the most patient man alive.
