How long until Notre Dame wins?

The Mich. Defense allready said... "" No way we will lose THIS week ""... It could be a long day for the young QB .

What's interesting to me is that the two teams ND has been defeated by are both ranked very high in both the AP and USA Today polls.

The question then becomes, has Notre Dame simply been dominated by two legit Top 15 teams, or are Penn State and Georgia Tech enjoying high marks from pollsters because they have beaten up on at least one patsy.

I am no ND fan, but personally I think they get a win against one of the Michigan schools. If not, they could give Purdue a scare, even in Lafayette, as the Boilermakers could be pondering a Week 6 primetime matchup against Ohio State.

At absolute worst, ND grabs their first W on 11/3 against Navy.

nd's defense played much better this past week against psu, they've got no help. are psu and gt top 15 teams? i'd say no. they are abit above average but by no means outstanding teams. psu and gt are rewarded by the pollster because the drilled nd.
IF nd doesn't beat purdue or mich st. they won't win a game until navy and af and don't hold your breath that they can beat either one of them. by that time of the season that nd defense could be so beat up, they won't be able to stop those option attacks.

The Irish aren't as bad as some of you guys are making them out to be.

I thought they looked halfway decent, on the road, against the team I picked to take the Big 10 this year.
