It’s 28-0 Notre Dame at halftime. Woohoo! This is awesome… but on the other hand, if this blowout score holds, it should give my fellow Domers just enough extra confidence heading into the Oct. 15 game against USC (Notre Dame has a bye next week) to make my life thoroughly miserable for the next two weeks… :)
If not for the last second (well minutes) heroics…
How about, “last 30 minutes”?
USC was dominant in the second half, as usual. I’m less nervous now about ND than I was before. Tonight the Trojans proved they can come back from a 21-3 halftime deficit. I’m not saying we’re unbeatable, but I don’t see this as some sort of a game that sends the message “oh my God, now USC is definitely going to lose soon.” ASU is a very solid team, and we played a very subpar game, and we still beat them by 10.
Man, I love how quickly you switch from “Whoo-hoo! ND wins again!” to, “Man, I’m less worried about the Notre Dame game than I was before.”
I have a co-worker who hates all the attention Notre Dame gets, and who has been quite upset with their winning ways as of late - they seem to be getting good just when the country was about to ignore them again. While I agree with him in some areas of this critique (one of the things he cites is how ND football is a darling that doesn’t get touched by conference play - the Big East kinda treated them to a sweetheart deal by letting them into their basketball stuff but not making them join their football stuff.)

USC 31 - ND 35.
I would be a little nervous. If not for the last second (well minutes) heroics of Bush and White, the ASU game turns out a tad bit different.
Maybe USC should petition for only having to play the second half!!!

2 weeks? Why would the bragging stop after ND beats USC?
