- Georgia Tech is vastly underrated. When you have the (undisputed) best WR in the country, a 4-year starting quarterback, and a RB that only transferred because he was behind the best RB in the country (Adrian Peterson) you have a good team.
- It was huge to win on the road against a good team to start the season. Whilst our next two opponents were playing Akron and Vanderbilt, respectively, at home, Notre Dame was able to beat Georgia Tech (1 of only 4 D-1A teams to play in a bowl game six years running) in their backyard.
- I hope the close win both builds character and knocks the team down a few notches from their offseason high horses.
- If you want to play the penalty game and say the (obvious) spearing call against GT was a gimme, remember the phantom hold called on Rhema McKnight on the first drive of the game. If that doesn't get called Notre Dame is up 7 about 2 minutes into the game and the entire dynamic changes.
- I don't know about you, but I lasted 3 minutes into the 2nd quarter before I had to put my TV on mute...

Brent Muskyburger is a joke. We all know Davie is a boob.
GTech is decent but will lose to Miami and FSU as well as one other ACC game. An 8-4 team, but a great on-the-road, season opening victory.
Scheduling in D1 is a joke. I can't believe anyone can criticize our Academy scheduling tradition. Also, look at FSU road schedule the rest of the season - absolute joke!
NCAA game clock rules are a joke:
Problem: Games are too long.
Reality Solution: Shorten the everlasting halftimes, eliminate the dozen TV timeouts, DON'T USE REPLAY!
Bizarro NCAA Solution: Keep the game clock running to decrease the number of plays, while keeping the commercials intact.
The polls are a joke. We drop after being the only team to play a real opponent (OK Tenn and FSU moved up deservedly).
However, the key game is Saturday. The loser of the Texas/OSU game will hold the critical ranking. They will be the highest 1 loss team for the rest of the season. You've gotta stay above that team to play for the title! Unfortunately, that means if we lose to PSU or Michigan, we have to hope the loser of Texas/OSU loses again or we are out!
