I've been saying it for more than a month, the similarities of Brian Kelly's first season and many other good first year coaches are there, and when comparing it to Jim Tressel's it's almost uncanny. Jim Tressel's first season for remarkable for one reason: he beat Michigan. Ohio State went into Ann Arbor (Note Dame is playing in Los Angeles) for that game at 6-4 (Notre Dame is 6-5), against a program that had dominated the series lately (Ohio State had beaten the Wolverines just FOUR TIMES since 1983, Southern Cal has won eight in a row after Notre Dame's great run in the series from 1983-2000)....but Tressel fucking won and the excitement was palpable in Ohio.
It is fucking time to right the ship. Neither of the close losses in 2005 or 2009 matter anymore.
Now, USC has looked very pedestrian this season. They are 7-4, and truthfully barely beat the likes of Hawai'i, Virginia, Minnesota, Arizona State and Arizona. Yeah. But throw that out the window because USC loves beating the shit out of the Irish. Will we see a tough Irish team roll into Compton and punch USC in the mouth? I think so; I really do. USC is going to have to run the ball to help Mustain out. I think Notre Dame's rush defense is up to the challenge.
But again, how will this offense play? Rees made some great throws last night, including some laser beams we haven't seen from him at all this season. Is Theo Riddick back? He provides a spark and Notre Dame needs all of the help they can get. Roby Toma looked great, but Tyler Eifert looked amazing, even blocking too.
Notre Dame wins this game with a killer game plan from Kelly and Co. It will be tough as shit though, even Mitch Mustain was a monster quarterback at Arkansas and he can definitely win this game for the Condoms.

Whenever you try to "out-clever" me you really embarrass yourself, its sad really. USC - 35 / ND - 14. Kiffin will be running JVs by mid 4th Qtr.killer_ewok;569862 wrote:Did Tiernan O'Rourke paint tits on your back yet?
