Notre DANG!!!

Last night, Notre Dame entered yet another bowl game while having not won any sin 9 years. Except this time, it was in Hawaii, v.s. Hawaii. Playing for their season, which hasn't been very impressive, Notre Dame came out to end their bowl game losing streak. This time, it was different. Notre Dame's QB Jimmy Clausen threw for 401 passing yards along with 5 touchdowns, both in which were Notre Dame bowl game records. Pretty impressive since he's playing for a school who's had many great quarterbacks including Joe Montana, Joe Theismann, and Brady Quinn. Notre Dame ultimately won 49-21, bringing hope to Irish fans.
My question to you is, where was this in the regular season? I heard the announcers RAVING about how good their young players are, and how many great plays that they're making for them. Ummmmmmmm.......... NEWS FLASH!!!!! When your 6-6, you don't have much to RAVE about. I mean it's understandable to enjoy the performance, and talk about their recruiting class and how good it's going to be. But if your team just had a lukewarm season at 6-6, and all of a sudden they blow out a WAC team, you can't go crazy! Just settle down and look at next years recruiting class, and next years schedule. Cause while you may have some great young talent, your ALWAYS losing some. And just one crack in an offensive scheme, could self destruct your entire game plan.
