If your takeaway from last night is focused on "Weigman sucks/played bad" and not what his opponent did I would recommend firing up the game from last year where the Heisman winning number one pick was seeing ghosts for 60 minutes.

Al Golden brings a zero blitz with the game on the line, with true freshman KVA on the field and putting his corners/safeties in man coverage, and then Christian Gray pays it off with perfect coverage/technique/break.

Louis Nix committed to Notre Dame when the program didn't even have a coach and proceeded to become its heart and soul. He was a special individual and this is heartbreaking. Thinking of his family and those close to him.

Reasonable goal for this season is to get to the end of it and have casual college football fans say “Oh Notre Dame quietly won double-digit games again, guess that’s just what they do” while we’ve had years shaved off our lives following them every Saturday.

Iowa State is a perfect opponent to close out this particular season: A very solid team by all metrics but not flashy and a little unlucky in their record so now an ND win will be dismissed as meaningless while an ND loss will be seen as a massive failure.
