An article from the SB Trib says thirty BYU players are married. Six of them have pregnant wives. They forgot to say that five players are collecting social security.
While looking up the 3-3-5 defense on the web, I stumbled into this from Wikipedia:
In Super Bowl XXV, the New York Giants played with only two down linemen, with four linebackers and five defensive backs. The strategy was very successful in preventing the Buffalo Bills from completing long passes, but it allowed over 190 yards in rushing. Nevertheless, the Giants won.
Guess who was the defensive assistant for the Giants that year. Bingo! Charlie Weis. With that and his football genius upbringing with the Bills, I wonder if this game will even be close in the 1st half.

USC Game Thoughts
Reggie for Heisman
By far Reggie Bush is the best college football player I have seen play this year. After the ND game, there is no way I would vote anyother way if I could vote. Without him, USC gets blown out. Period. Just incredible.
Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
Where did LenDale White go? The Irish put the smack down! Total non-factor.
The Last Play
After watching the play time after time, I can safely say that yes the Bush Push did happen. Also, Hoyte could have stood Leinart up but Hoyte decided to either go strip the ball out or pull Leinart down. It looks like these happened at the same time. Bush pushed right when Hoyte thought that Leinart was stopped and then reached around to go for the ball.
Missed Opportunities
With that said, Notre Dame left everything on the field Saturday. Quinn had a great game although he missed a couple of throws. Two biggies are both overthrows. One to the Shark out of the back of the endzone. The other, over Schwapp's head before the missed FG.
The King of Coaches vs. The Poodle
Weis definitely had the team prepared for this one. He saw weaknesses and attacked them. The NBC announcers kept talking about how bad ND was doing on 1st down, but that was by design. NBC could not put 2 and 2 together. They knew Weis wanted ball control. Well, if you do that, you will typically have a bunch of 3rd downs. Duh! Weis acknowledged as much in his presser yesterday.
Bottom line: I do not see ND losing to USC again in the coming years. Next year will be a blowout if Bush leaves.

Some comments after the PU game
First off, I loved this game. ND may have not scored on the first drive, but every drive after that in the 1st half was TD. The one interception Quinn had was a great job by the end to jump up for that pass. They recognized when they blitzed, Quinn was at times getting the ball out to Stovall quickly. With that said, the offense took what the defense gave them. Yeah, Darius couldn't keep his 100 yd./game streak alive. That was mainly because we were lighting them up passing the ball.
It was funny with Davie doing the commentary for the game. Hey Bob, who was your offensive coordinator when you coached at ND? That's right, Jim Colletto. The Purdue's last coach before Tiller. Hmmmm. Let me see. Would you hire a coach that was 38-80-4 in 11 yrs. as a head coach in football? I think most would not.
Davie was always preoccupied with how many 1st round players he coached when he was here. Not saying that Quinn does not deserve it, just that I don't want Quinn to leave after this year
(not that I think he will). He has been awesome at picking up the new offense. Or maybe it is he uses things in the offense that he is comfortable with. Here is somethink I saw in BGS that caught my eye:
Leinart- 82/126 (65.1%), 1286 yards, 10 touchdowns, 2 INT
Young- 54/82 (65.9%), 780 yards, 7 touchdowns. 48 carries, 310 yards, 2 touchdowns, 5 INT
Quinn - 124/190 (65.3%), 1621 yards, 13 touchdowns, 3 INT
The Rock also pointed out that 17 years ago come Oct. 15 something special happened at Notre Dame Stadium:
17 years ago on October 15th, Notre Dame knocked off Miami in the middle of one of its great undefeated runs on the way to a National Championship.
