i dislike nd and i'm no BQ fan but it takes more than BQ to win those games. he just didn't have enough help. until nd get some defensive and OL help and they will NOT win big games. out scoring people doesn't beat good teams.

nd's recruits this year did not address either of the problems.

like every ND hater this year ,when the team is losing, you find the biggest name on the team (which is obviously Brady Quinn), and you throw all the blame on them. Brady Quinn did all he could the entire year, he just didn't have all the right pieces around him. The guy is tough and will be a hella good QB in the NFL!

what about those horrendous passes that he repeatedly threw vs LSU that were uncatchable b/c they were nowhere near his receivers? he sure had no problem hitting up the michigan DBs in south bend. I understand they didnt have the best talent, but they guy isnt going to have huge windows to throw to and there'll be plenty of pressure in the nfl for him. I dont root for ND, but I do want them to be good for college football. Im not totally blaming Quinn, their defense was slow and they had bad receivers. Great players find a way to overcome those problems. Just as you claim that Im quick to hate on Quinn all the "Rudys" are just as quick to annoint him the next great QB. I just don't believe all the hype around him; he won't be facing defenses like Army and Navy in the NFL

I just remember at the beginning of the season when ND played GT in their first game, a number of people had a little birdie telling them how great Weiss was going to make this team, especially offensively.

I was roundly critized before the GT game because I said GT had a good team and that was being completely overlooked. And I stated GT defense was good no matter what Weiss had. Well that game turned out to be ND's best win, and they barely won. ND fans just completely discount the team that they are playing it seems to me.

Yes your team can be good, but if they play another good team, it does not automatically mean you roll them because, after all, you are ND...

He is getting fatter as we type. I personally put Brady Quinn ahead of him. LSU had a heck of a lot more talent on both sides of the ball and that can make a QB look really good. Remember Marino and how bad he looked with a bad University of Pittsburg team.

I wanna know what you're smokin'! LMAO! Who was on the Russell bandwagon all year? NOBODY. The last time I checked, in order to be overrated, you had to be talked about all season and then really blow a big game. Oh wait... that sounds like Troy Smith!
