Kind of scares me when some BSPN analysts have as much optimism for ND in 09' that I do.

I just now realized ND has a bye week before USC. My optimism for a victory just increased dramatically. They better have an intense bye week to prepare for SC. They better know everything SC does by heart before the game week practice begins. It's TIME to beat SC damnit!

When the four letter network jumps on the bandwagon, there's obviously something to be optimistic about.

SC has the same bye week ... just sayin'.

17. Notre Dame Fighting Irish
There are no more excuses for coach Charlie Weis, who returns 10 starters on offense and a ton of experience across the roster. With quarterback Jimmy Clausen and receivers Golden Tate and Michael Floyd coming back, the Fighting Irish should be explosive on offense. Notre Dame must improve its running game, which ranked 100th nationally in 2008, and new offensive line coach Frank Verducci helped it make strides during spring practice. Coordinator Jon Tenuta takes over the defensive play-calling duties, and the Irish are going back to a 4-3 scheme. Opponents can expect the Irish to be more aggressive with safety and linebacker blitzes. Notre Dame plays seven home games, along with an Oct. 31 neutral-site game against woebegone Washington State in San Antonio. Only one game on Notre Dame's schedule -- home against USC on Oct. 17 -- seems to be especially difficult. The Irish might need to win at least nine games to show Weis is truly making progress.
I am rolling my eyes btw, we have no reason to be ranked in preseason this year. The espin hype machine rolls on....

[brownkj002]
