their backs against the wall?
I think they are going to face some very real adversity soon as we've entered the "little brother" portion of the schedule (Pitt, Navy, Northwestern). I am also pretty confident that this year's version of the Fightin' Irish can dig their way out of a hole against an inferior opponent, so I am almost welcoming the challenges that are about to come.
Do I hope they obliterate each of these inferior opponents by 50? Absolutely, that's my #1 goal. But for the sake of realism, I think it's safe to assume that some storms are coming, and weathering them will only help to build the team's resolve going down the stretch and into the postseason.

I hope they never have their backs to the wall all season. After 14 games I hope we can all say the same thing.
