  Already seeing a boost from this game, a four-star small forward committed an hour ago. haha

  I was really impressed with the offense yesterday. Nothing really to complain about in that regard. I loved getting Hendrix in there for a change of pace, and to give us a glimpse of what was coming in the future. On the one option play, I was really hoping they would have scored. I'm not sure I remember the last time ND scored on an option play. Also, if it was Golson...he doesn't let the DB catch him on that 70+ yard run that Hendrix has and would have scored.
  
  Defensively, I'm not happy that we gave up 500+ yards and that many points. But it's the triple option, and it's not easy to defend. I definitely thought the front seven would have done a better job than that...but I can't be too upset.
  
  Overall, I'm feeling very good going into the bye week. I think we can get some guys rested, and we have some confidence and swagger going into the USC game. If the Irish can pull that one out, I'll have some really high hopes for the remainder of the season.

  Brindza's 3 touchbacks yesterday matched the total touchbacks in 2007, 2008, and 2009 combined.

  Oh cool, now you're trying to talk about how great touchbacks are.

  Or maybe you're trying too hard to come up with positive aspects to this offensive-oriented ND team.
  
  BK is just converting them into the same "score more points than the other team" style he ran at Cinci, which doesn't work.

  Do you even watch the games?

  Air Force honestly isn't a bad team, they have a very good veteran qb with an offense that's tough to defend. A large portion of the points and yards came in the 2nd half when ND had a bunch of second teamers playing as well. Air Force played a pretty good game, and as I posted earlier in this thread it's very important to start out on fire when playing these guys to take them out of their game plan.
  
  You can just see and feel how in sync BK has this offense from the past two weeks. Rees is playing great as well.

  Great post. You seem to have a clue.

  A QB that throws the ball 10 times a game isn't "very good".

• The Equalizer

  

  A QB who's in the top 4 for active QB wins is a good QB. The same team that put him in position through winning is thus also a good team.

  What are you even trying to argue? Jefferson is a very good QB for the offense Air Force runs. You've already shown you have no clue what you are talking about in regards to Notre Dame, so why do you even try? Just admit you know nothing about football or sports in general and move on.

  It's fairly simple, try and wrap your brain around this on your next snow day: stop looking at Rivals, Scout, and ESPN, and start looking at which schools offer the prospect. Look at Andrew Hendrix, he committed to Notre Dame, but according to the omniscient internet he had offers from Ohio State, Florida, and Tennessee among other powers. How about Matt James, offers from Ohio State, Penn State, Tennessee, and Florida. Tai-ler Jones had offers from Ohio State, Alabama, and Georgia. Louis Nix had an offer from Florida. Prince Shembo had offers from Virginia Tech and Tennessee. Alex Welch had offers form Ohio State and Oklahoma.
  
  If my thinking cap is on correctly, I would have to presume that their respective coaches think they're good enough to play there. And all of the schools I just listed are national powers on a yearly basis (Tennessee being the only arguable exception lately, but their recruiting class was tremendous before Kiffin took a shit on them so to garner an offer you'd have to be good).
  
  You have never once provided proof for the "facts" you present. Facts without proof are, well, not facts at all. There is a correlation between how good you are and who offers you. If you're very good, and very good program offers you 95% of the time. If you're mediocre, very good programs have a habit of not offering you a spot on their team. See how that works?
  
  Let's keep this train rolling along and maybe will get two birds with one stone. If very good players (very good programs giving them offers makes them very good players...see how I did that?) are offered by very good programs and yet still choose Notre Dame......well, that must mean in their eyes Notre Dame is still relevant. Holy shit look at that. One day sleeper may realize (it's doubtful though) no one gives a shit whom he finds relevant and irrelevant, people care whom national recruits think are relevant; and judging by the recruiting classes, Notre Dame is still relevant in the eyes of the people that actually matter.

  Also for good measure, take a look at the offer lists of the current commitments. And to be honest the real stud targets haven't even committed yet, and many of this guys are largely considered projects (e.g. Romeo Okwara...because he's 16).

  Because they were 1 and 1a until Dietz had a few injuries that tipped the depth chart in Jefferson's favor.
