Team. We are 4-1 because of our defense. Leonard is average at best which is causing a significant underperformance by our WRs and TEs. Due to injuries we have an average at best OL. Our RBs are the only shining light on offense. We would be in serious trouble if we played any of the teams in the top 10.

Pundits still a bit cold on Notre Dame despite slew of upsets, [NT] [LINK] - whatsamataU - 7:57pm 10/6/24 (19) [View All]
- it's about more than wins and losses against a so/so schedule...need to look impressive, too. NIU - WestCoastIrishFan - 8:38am 10/7/24
  - Agree. But even blowouts against Army / Navy will be heavily discounted as credibily gains. [NT] - SteveM - 11:00am 10/7/24
    - Maybe not if they are undefeated ( drug residue wish) [NT] - whatsamataU - 12:38pm 10/7/24
- At this point it’s all about trajectory and demonstrated improvement [NT] - LanceManion - 8:04am 10/7/24
- If the pundits watch ND play, I don't blame them. - AlbanyIRISH - 5:20am 10/7/24
- ND viewed as a pretender. Penn St. should be too. Can't see them as #4 [NT] - SteveM - 9:30pm 10/6/24
  - There are only 3 teams that are not pretenders - BaronVonZemo - 9:42pm 10/6/24
    - I think you are ignoring Texas [NT] - D2 - 12:08pm 10/7/24
    - In an earlier era Alt and Fisher would still be here [NT] - MarkHarman - 8:16am 10/7/24
      - Do you mean before 1990 when underclassmen were allowed to enter? Alt needed to go pro - Turkish - 9:11am 10/7/24
    - Thx Agree on your analysis. ND as pretender based on sparse signature win record, not roster talent. [NT] - SteveM - 9:51pm 10/6/24
      - Coaching then? Since Lou?? [NT] - whatsamataU - 12:40pm 10/7/24

        Top 30? Based on practice reports? [NT] - ndphysics - 9:58am 10/7/24
        Thinking it’s worse? I was being nice [NT] - WoodstockIrish - 4:02pm 10/9/24
- We got physically manhandled at home by a MAC team who is 3-2 - ndphysics - 8:53pm 10/6/24
- Losing to a MAC team at home will do that. [NT] - Frank L - 7:59pm 10/6/24
  - Yup. [NT] - irish93 - 8:08pm 10/6/24
