Notre Dame Football in Total Fiasco

The hope for Notre Dame's chances of a bowl game, are getting very slim; as Notre Dame and Charlie Weis find him self in the terrible faith. This year was supposed to be a promising reloading year but it has turned into a rebuilding year. Charlie before the season started lost one of his lineman coaches. Charlie with out that coach is now has serious problem with the play on both the offensive front and defensive side of the ball. This has launched a 0-3 record with the most embarrassing lost coming in the hands of the Wolverines. Michigan Wolverines coming off two embarrassing defeats by Appalachian State and Oregon, didn't need to fall 0-3. Notre Dame, after losing miserable to Georgia Tech, Penn State; Charlie had some kind of believe that the Michigan game was his game.

Well Charlie was wrong, and everyone can blame the lack of play calling or lack of athletes but what was Charlie's problem was lack of line play. His front 10, which is the four hogs on the defensive side and the five hogs and a tight end on the offensive side; let this team down. Open play granted a 13-yard lost, that right there spelled that Charlie was going to have some serious problems as this game was about to unfold. People want to say that maybe Jim Clausen is not the right guy or maybe he is to young. Clausen never had a shot to get his feet planted long enough to make any plays on offense. If anyone is to blame on how Notre Dame is playing is the 10 guys in the box on both sides of the ball.

These guys are not playing with any sense of pride of wanting to block. If they was trying to block then every other play Clausen wouldn't be running for his life or getting hit by all four down lineman. When the defense front four smacks a freshman QB in the face on every given play, then those WR and RB should start smack or saying something to the lineman.

Will Notre Dame win a game this year, well it depends on how much time the offensive line will play, and how much pride Notre Dame really has. Look the swagger is gone, and Brady Quinn is not in uniform; now is the time where the Fighting Irish should attack. They should attack like they did when Charlie first came into Notre Dame. It is not the play calling or the skill players not making plays, it is more about the hogs not getting it done with controlling the line of scrimmage.
