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.
