Well ND has to stop playing the Ball U's The following week
after ND escaped by Ball U the Alabama of the north IU
demolished Ball U. Their schedule is horrible. Even traditional
rival USC had a down year via some of their fans I know. Even OK
with the Heisman QB couldnt play with Alabuma.

I think you can acknowledge that the ND schedule was not as
tough as the other competition, but these schedule are set years
in advance. FSU has been strong, Michigan, etc. But it wasn't
the schedule that an SEC team plays, because the SEC places so
many teams in the top 15 year after year.

Everyone plays cake opponents. Alabama this year played Citadel,
La Lafayette and Mercer this year, three cake teams. Clemson
played Kent St, Citadel, FURMAN, and Duke.

I'm a big ND fan and I've accepted that this is probably as good
as they can get. Their top CB Love went out for the 2nd quarter
and Clemson abused the backup when he came in. 3 TDS in that
2nd quarter until love got back in after half time. ND will
just never have the depth to compete against elite squads
because of the admission requirements.
Everything has to go perfect to even get to the playoffs.

Would agree totally with that, Octagon. I don't know where they
go from here for next season. Get back in it to only once again
get spanked by those loaded teams which are basically semi pro?
And they're loading up again with recruits so ND will never get
another title. I'm going to guess they'll maybe win 8 games next
season at which point they'll get rid of Kelly. What they really
need is to change their requirements for football recruits and
hire a top notch recruiting coach and get some of those 5 stars.
But they won't do that because it lowers the schools avg. So
this season is as good as it's going to get for them anymore, I
agree totally...

I'd stick with Kelly. I think he's a good coach, especially
since he had his feet put to the fire a few years ago. Only
thing I think he needs to do is have chip long install a more
gimmicky passing offense. The blue chip OL prospects are going
to get a little more scarce without the allure of heistand
coaching them up. They can't be fairly vanilla and hope to win
on the elite level.
Other than that, it's just Kelly doing his best and hoping for
no major injuries and the ball bouncing their way. (The kick
return fumble getting overturned was criminal).
Maybe Urban Meyer wants the job in a couple years, that's the
only clear upgrade that I could see happening.

Anyone watch the Alliance league game?
It wasn't to bad. I would compare it to NFL pre-season games
after the starters are out. It was a bit sloppy but should
improve as the season goes forward. Looks like they have a lot
of borderline NFL talent. The players who stand out will likely
end up making the bottom of NFL rosters.

The officiating in the Memphis/Birmingham was brutal.
The replay official should never work again.
