While it was touch-and-go for a while, it looks like Notre Dame is out of the woods for achieving the worst statistical offense in the last nine years thanks to the porous defenses of Duke and the service academies. Saurian Sagacity announces that the Irish have improved to 235.8 yards per game, a healthy margin north of 2002 Rutgers record-setting futility 214 yards per game. By his calculations, the Irish will have to put up negative-27 yards against a Stanford that statistically rates as one of the worst in the country, giving up 455.3 yards per game.

Granted, nothing is impossible with this 07 Irish squad, but I think it's safe for the Rutgers lads to pop their champagne a la the '72 Dolphins and celebrate yet another year of their incredible record staying intact.

Every time I read something like this it makes me shake my head at Notre Dame's futility this season. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Lefty, the Irish will return. Not like in the past, but they will be decent always due to the $$$ they can throw at their program and the tradition they have in the sport. Their exceptional facilities and reputation for quality education will continue to attract outstanding recruits for the near future.

Yeah, I know. You can't keep a good team down. They're still Notre Dame, and no matter what, there's blue-chip kids all across the country who want to play there just for that reason. Heck, what other team could go 3-9 and still have a top 10 recruiting class the following season? Not many, that's for sure.
