Michigan / Notre Dame

[UNTFan23]

Two of the worst offensive teams face off. Notre Dame has negative yards right now in their first series of the game.

[CMJ]

Michigan isn't a bad offensive team. They're a TERRIBLE defensive team. But I think the Wolverines will win handily.

[hickoryhouse]

The ultimate battle of ineptitude, they both suck this year but one of them is going to have to suck less than the other. At this point I am going to say that Michigan is going to suck the least. But they still suck

[UNTFan23]

They need to duck tape the rock to the ND players. My goodness, how many times can you put the ball on the carpet like that ... and it's only the first quarter.

[UNTFan23]

Wow, Notre Dame is just horrible. 9 total offensive yards, -39 yards rushing, 48 yards passing and 3 turnovers.

Claussen looks bad. Vizza looked way more poised for a true freshman, against OU than Claussen.

[NCMeanGreen]

I predict 31-0 Michigan at the half.

P.S. Ignore the timestamp here...the time must be off!

Seriously, I had predicted a UM win...ND is treadful in all regards this year.

Yeah but Mallett seems to be keeping his composure.

No doubt. Mallet has a great OL and a solid running game in front of him. All of Mallet's passes come off the success of Mike Hart and the running game. Mallet does not have a great percentage but his play action passes have been nice.

[UNTFan23]

Notre Dame brings in a new QB ... like it's going to make a difference.

Can Weiss recruit?

Can Weiss recruit?

Look at the score----- Q.E.D.

Obviously that was my point. There have been great X's and O's coaches who couldn't recruit. Even Bill Walsh really - he left for the NFL before it was apparent he wasn't a recruiter - and then when he went back to Stanford in the 90's he only lasted until his own players were the majority of the team and they were talent deficient. Perhaps Weiss is one of those.

[Got5onIt]

Well, Weiss is cut from the Bellicheat mold and thinks he's smarter than any other coach in the NCAA. Looks like Willingham didn't do too bad AND can be credited for recruiting Lady Quinn.

They may not be performing but anyone can recruit to Notre Dame.
