Notre Dame loses final regular season game 38-27 to Caleb Williams and the USC Trojans (short thoughts)

Well that game Saturday definitely didn’t go the way I had hoped. The Trojan run game was absolutely gouging the Irish defense and left little doubt in this one. The Fighting Irish’s highly touted offensive line and defensive lines both got outclassed. The Irish took the field against the Trojans and just didn’t bring near their best game in this one. The Notre Dame offense … Continue reading Notre Dame loses final regular season game 38-27 to Caleb Williams and the USC Trojans (short thoughts)

Buckeyes will look to show out and Hoosier Football is Pain. (Ohio State-Indiana really short pregame thoughts)

What can be said heading into Indiana’s upcoming game at Ohio State University? Vegas has Ohio State as a 40 point favorite. That is just downright program definingly embarrassing.
