The Luck of the Irish

1977. Opening game of the ND national championship season against Pittsburgh away. Willie Fry knocks Matt Cavanaugh out of the game with a broken collar bone and the Irish go on to win despite an anemic offense. The old "knock out their QB" play worked again last night.

Well we needed a break and got one last night. Our offense is still pitiful, but we cut down on the mistakes and stepped it up on defense. Absolutely amazing, but then again a team should win with presented with seven turnovers. And poor old USC bit the dust to put some icing on the cake. The LA area domers had to enjoy themselves last night.

In any case it is a 'W' and we will take it. Now let's go upset those Eagles.

Go Irish.
