'm trying to get excited for this ND game
Hell, it's only about 90 minutes from my house. But for chrissake, it's not like I don't already know what our offense is going to look like.

I would love to believe that after a month of extra time, I'll go see the beginning of good things to come going into next year. Instead, I suspect that even if we win, I'm going to walk away having seen a heaping pile of shite on offense.

I just don't get this line of thought. Sure, the offense is boring and not TCU-like. But look at the matchup- it's not like we're facing LSU's or Alabama's 2011 defense.

Notre Dame is soft against the run. That's the one thing we do effectively. They struggle against big-play WRs; we have a couple of those. They tend to make bad mistakes on offense, and we have the top defense in the conference.

I'm honestly thinking this can turn out like the Kentucky game; you step back a little in level of competition athletically, and suddenly you realize the Tigers are not that bad after all.
