He has had some of the top classes in the country since he been here...They lost their whole offense from last year, and about the whole defense from last year. So yeah he has alot of guys now playing that he recruited but they are also getting their first experience at the college level at playing the whole time. This year is going to be a rough year, but I fully expect to see the team playing alot better as the year goes on...

It will be year 5 before it's completely Weis' team...he's only had two full recruiting years and by most ratings he's done pretty good, which means ND should have a lot of talented freshmen and sophomores...and a few juniors that he probably snagged when he first took over...give him another year or two with a roster that is completely his and then we'll have a better idea of what he's gonna do, IMO. ND is still in a transition, IMO...and this year could be a rough one. I still think he'll get the Irish back in the picture, just not as fast as some were expecting.

Wow, that was a big Ouch on Saturday. Things dont look good in South Bend......

7-5

Weis hands QB Clausen starting job against Penn State

Georgia Tech Loss

@Penn St. Loss

@Michigan Loss

Michigan St. Loss

@Purdue Win

@UCLA Loss

Boston College Loss

Southern Cal. Loss

Navy Win

Air Force Win

Duke Win

@Stanford Win

 

I'll say 5-7 but I could definitely see it being worse.

 

Michigan Lost to APP St. So they are beatable, I'm not saying they will beat them but they are beatable. I agree with the list above except, I think ND beats Mich St, BC and shocks Penn St this weekend and finishes 8-4.

I would love an ofer season for Notre Dame.:flame:

I would say 5-7. It didn't look very good this past weekend. With Clausen starting it might get a little interesting.

Even with Weis at the helm I would say 6-6, but that being said we haven't seen much of the Claussen kid yet. It will be interesting to see a #1 overall recruit perform with the kind of scrutiny ND QB's go through.

I think it's officially worse. :lol:

Nd will win 3 games this year. It might just be a little biased because Im not the biggest ND fan out there:sssh:

I see them getting two wins on the season.... Its going to be a long season for the fighting irish...

Pride will get them one win, luck will get them one and some lame call at the end of a game will get them a third. That's all they will get.

Notebook: Hurting, humbled Irish hardly in league of their own

 

Team A has 40 wins since 2002. Three out of those five years it has been ranked in the top 25. There have been two 10-win seasons and four bowls in that span.

 

Team A is coached by a former national college coach of the year; a former NFL assistant with Super Bowl experience who calls his own plays and is breaking in a new starting quarterback.

 

Team B has 42 wins since 2002. Three of those five years, it has landed in the top 25. There have been two 10-win seasons and three bowls. It also is coached by a former coach of the year; an NFL assistant with Super Bowl experience who calls his own plays and is breaking in a new starting quarterback.

 

One of those teams is Maryland. The other is Notre Dame.

 

The point is that in the here-and-now of college football, the two programs are comparable in terms of recent achievements. In that span Notre Dame has morphed into Maryland. Mimicked a Terrapin. Turned turtle. Mirrored a mid-level ACC program.

Bad Year for the Irish 4-8 they'll be lucky to win 4:lol:

I love Notre Dame but I voted for 4 wins or less...

 

Ditto.
