Ok first of all, we are 4-1.



Schedule is far easier than the first half
Stanford-easy W
UCLA- they are a good team…but its in SB…therefore its a W
Navy- Win
North Carolina- Big W
Air Force- its in Colorado… I think it will be closer than most will think…but we will pull it out
Army- Win
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA- this game is it… if they win, then it will be a BCS…i dont think two losses will give them a chance…This will be a huge game…problem is… its in LA… which worries me…If Southern California remains unhealthy by the end of november…I will give the edge to ND this will be a huge game (plus i think i’m going to this one)



Stanford- Yep.
UCLA- Very athletic team. Should give us competition.
Navy- No problem.
NC- No problem.
Air Force- Stop the option=0 points for AF
Army- No problem.
USC- This game scares the **** outta me. Depending on who loses where, this game could determine who goes to the National Championship. This is what USC-ND is supposed to be. However, USC still has the potential to win big in this game. Booty is good, really good. They don’t lose much at QB. Thunder and Lightning will be missed, the running game won’t be the same. But this game won’t be what most think, most people that I’ve talked to just say since we should’ve beat them last year and they lost they’re talent, we’ll win easy. NO, this game, if we play our best, should be as close as last year. The Booty to Jarrett passes scare me. The game is at USC, which hasn’t gone well for us, and it is Charlie’s first time in their house. Even though I’d rather play at USC than at home (so when we win it hurts more for them, I hate them with a passion) this will be a big advantage for them.

Today didn’t impress me at all. Tommy is out of position, Leo can’t stick with his man, and the linebackers don’t have a presence. The Oline was clicking early but that gradually faded. On the bright side, West finally got to show his speed. Charlie should give the ball to Prince when the other team doesn’t know were gunna run it.

So if we run the table does no one think we have a shot at the NC? Because we do. Losing early is not a kill all to NC hopes. We just have to get in position before the USC game so if we win we can get bumped to #2.
