As a Notre Dame fan, I'm embarassed. The offense played like crap tonight, but I'm so embarassed for this defense.

Not just tonight, the entire last 2 years. Weis better fix it next year or he can leave. I say this b/c this defense is a high school JV team.

They have no heart, they SUCK. No pressure on the QB ever. Receivers are open by 3-5 yards or more EVERY SINGLE PLAY. Running plays almost always get good yardage. They can't tackle.

I hate this defense, the defensive coaches, all of it. I want to like Zbikowski but he's part of these 11 pussies. I can't take it any more.

This defense is horrible to say the least and its like they don't even care. Do SOMETHING.

Not to mention, I"m going to lose this Over by a point b/c this "great offense" can't get a 2nd half first down.

Not to mention 2 missed chip shot FG's....one by each team. Notre Dame sucks, Carolina sucks, I can't win a damn bet.

^ I like the guy, I'm also tired of ND switching coaches every few years. I'm not asking for a new coach....yet.

Just tired of relying on the offense with no regard whatsoever to defense. I don't understand the fake punt on the first possession, and esp. after that, I don't understand not trying to score at end of first half.

I'm also very fearful of Weis' arrogance ending up like Amato at NC State.

Like I say, I like Weis and I'm not jumping ship by any means. Just saying that this is the 2nd worst defense I've ever witnessed in college football (with UNC being the worst).

I prefer a coach like Tressel, but like Weis and just hope he does something to improve the defense year by year. I just fear that he thinks he needs to improve offense b/c the "best defense is a good offense"...and in football, its not.

Touchdown you might as well get a new coach also. This was the usc game all over again and Weiss didn't learn anything. He wont blitz. I saw this quarterback at lsu play five times. when you rush him up the middle he makes mistakes. Charlie when he blitzed blitzed from the sidelines. How in gods name didn't he know this about this kid. the receiver number 5 is useless. The cornerback number 20 is brutal and the kid they brought in for him was even worse. He look so afraid out there on that bomb it was actually pathetic. If you cant cover rushing three or four guys than rush freaking six. I think he blitzed one time all night and the quarterback fumbled. As for Quinn no way i waste my pick on him. Maybe its the lack of seperation with the receivers im not sure yet but he missed badly time and time again. There were times he had ten seconds and he still missed badly.

I'm not complaining about going 10-3. Its just that they aren't that good.

Very fortunate call against GaTech on 3rd and goal...helmet to helmet contact on Quinn.

I loved the comeback against MichSt, but it was also a meltdown by Spartans. ND played like crap most of game.

Didn't see UCLA game, but how does UCLA give up that last drive like that?

Beat 3 cadet schools. Stanford sucks. UNC sucks.

Played 3 great teams and couldn't compete with any of them.

So, not complaining, but weak schedule and horrible losses to 3 great teams. Almost blown out by MichSt.

I'm just at a loss. How does Willingham have terrible offense and good defense and Weis comes in and finds all these offensive weapons and the talent at D is that bad?

I think its a comb. of things, but yeah, I don't know what they were doing tonight on defense....

Toward the end, I was begging to just do SOMETHING....sell out on a blitz, break on a receiver and risk a double move, something to give yourself a chance at a play.

Quinn played bad, but he also had poor protection a lot of times, very little running game, and receivers were blanketed almost every play.

Except for a little bit in the first half....total domination in every aspect of the game by LSU. Disgraceful.

I was screaming the same things, and the way they just mailed it in late in the game even down that much, just to save Quinn or whatever was even more embarrasing... no blitzing, letting LSU run to the outside time after time, and giving the LSU receivers huge cushions all game long, almost any decent quarterback could pick that apart, and Russel is way more then decent...

Hope they make some coordinator changes and vast adjustments next year, because they will continue to be on TV against vastly superior teams...

I know but my posts last night had very little to do with losing money.

My 2 favorite teams are so bad on defense that its laughable.

I saw ND play UNC and on one play....ND was on the 5 or so, about to score. UNC corner lines up about 7 yards deep in the end zone and barely moves as the guy catches a TD pass.

Its been like that for 5 years with Bunting and 2 years with Weis. I'm giving Weis b.o.d. that he will correct some things, but its not that they have a bad defense. Its they have no clue....every single game. The only real defense they have is that they try to get turnovers. Anything else is just out of position, too slow, bad playcalling, can't/won't tackle, etc.

Its downright horrid.
