Lookin' Mighty Good

OK, the B2 Bomber fly over was fantastic! Best fly over ever. Quite a machine.

Oh yeah, the Irish also flew over the Falcons quite nicely. As The Colonel stated, it was not as close as the score considering the two late TDs in mop up time by Air Force. Defense gave up a lot of yards but clearly had a "keep it in front of you" mentality and really made Air Force work for it. Consider they had to go for it on 4th down five times and threw in a few trick plays to try to mess up the Irish. We made a lot of good plays on defense against a very talented offense.

But our offense is the story. EIGHT touchdowns. SEVEN different guys scored. We ran and passed well and scored fast. This was the dream day for the Kelly system as everything was clicking. Really fun to watch and I have to say there was a bit of "the good old days" feeling in my heart. I am sure I said that before but it has been 15 years since we had this type of juggernaut offensive day. No turnovers again and took it away twice which really helped. Most points ever in ND stadium, the second historic game of the season. Unfortunately the first one was all about a storm.

Tommy continues to mature. He made several good throw aways when the play was not there instead of forcing one into coverage. He made a couple bad reads and also still cannot always zip it in to an open receiver but overall very solid. More important is the murderers row of skill players we have on offense. No team can defend the combination of Floyd, Eifert, Riddick, Wood, Gray, Jones and now a kid named Hendrix. Pittsburgh came close to shutting us down but then Eifert burned them at the end. I simply do not think it can be done. The skill guys block great too (except for Jones) which makes the other skill guys successful. And don't kid yourself, Kelly threw Hendrix in there to mess up the USC game planning. 111 yards rushing on 6 carries and 4 for 4 passing. Be afraid, be very afraid Trojans!

I feel very good about facing USC in a couple weeks. We are going to win.

Been waiting to type this for many months:

GO IRISH!! Beat Trojans!!
