There Is No Defense

Okay Irish fans. Unfortunately, we are forced to post a similar entry as last week.

The national media is going to take their shots at us - and at this point we deserve everything that is being directed at us. Even though you feel that burn in your gut when they attack Notre Dame - which 90% of the time is unwarranted and mean-spirited - right now, we deserve what we get.

We are a pathetic excuse for a college football team right now. There is no legitimate excuse for us to be as bad as we are. 0-3 and losing all three games by a combined 10 points? Acceptable. Not scoring a touchdown? Unacceptable. Getting sacked a few times with a young offensive line? Acceptable. Being completely inept at even getting in a defender's way? Unacceptable.

So don't fire off e-mails to the national talking heads out there - it is pointless because there is no defense that can be accepted. Just hope and pray that Coach Weis can figure out what this team needs to get on track - and cheer the guys on. At this point - this is all we can do.
