BOL Round Table

I think it is fair to make the argument that Golson has improved. However, what qb would not look improved against Wake, Pitt, BC and USC.

Wake is 120th in D, BC is 100th, Pitt is in the 60's and USC (30th) he barely completely 50 percent of his passes. 9 of his 15 completions were to the TE or RB out of the backfield.

We'll see what he looks like against NFL players on D. Not avg players.

Want to feel better about this game ask yourself this ? had you rather play L S U- TA&M or Georgia again in the bcs or Notre Dame. I had much rather play the Irish than any of those. Not disrespecting N. D. going undefeated is a great accomplishment. I will also take our o line against their front 7 any day of the week the only place they have an advantage over us is in pass catching tight end. `BRING ON THE GOLD HATS NO FEAR HEAR.

I would rather play Texas A&M again. We outscored them 24-9 after the first quarter.

The key to beating a 3-4 is to run right at them, chipping the front guys and mowing down the linebackers.

Georgia gave us great NCG practice.

You don't have to tell me. I live in Ohio and was in Columbus for that game.

This ND team is not in the same vicinity talent wise as that OSU team. And I mean not close.

I totally disagree that USC would smash Tenn. If Tenn can hang with UF til the 4th, only lose to UGA by 3, and only lose to South Carolina by 3 they aren't getting smashed by a team that doesn't play any D.

USC beat two bcs teams all year that are going to a bowl. That includes Wash (in a close game) and Arizona St (who Missouri beat).

Does USC win? Probably, but when your best win of the year is a 10 point win over a 7-5 Washington team. I have a hard time believing they would stomp anyone in the SEC when they could only beat Syracuse by 13..

Didn't have any problem with Denard Robinson.

The last 4-5 years we have had trouble with a handful of mobile qbs. 3 of them won the Heisman trophy. I would say we weeren't the only ones to have problems with those guys. We have done a good job against mobile qbs more than we have done a bad job.

2 of the 3 teams that played us tough this year had statues for qbs.

Notre Dame won at the end of nearly all of their games. Even against bums. That is where the confidence comes from. That and we beat the team they were outgained by and had to have 6 TO's to beat by a td by 4 tds and it could have been far worse than that considering it was 31-0 midway through second qtr.

Could this game be close. Absolutely. But the past doesn't suggest it will.

We aren't the same team now. We have had multiple injuries to key players since that game. Fowler, White, Bell, Hart, etc. I think we win. But it's going to a war.

Have been watching a lot of video of Notre Dame, and I be shocked if we don't move the ball very easily against them.
