whoever posted that Notre Dame has mediocre talent has to be kidding. no matter how ND plays or the who the coach is, they always have some of the top talent in the country. every year.
the remainder of the Vols opponents, including ND, don't have defenses even close to what the Vols have faced so far this season. A better indicator of how the Vols will fare is the close to 400 yards of offense against Ole Miss. The vols rushed for 172 yards and passed for 206.
if the Vols defense give the offense opptys to score, then the Vols will break the 30 point barrier.

Another good example of what good coaching can do for a program is Georgia. For years Ga was perennially finishing 3rd behind FL and UT. After 2 coaching changes, they now are perennially finishing 1st in the SEC east. Both their 2 previous head coaches, Donnan and Goff, recruited well. The reality is until they found the right head coach they were never better then 3rd in the SEC east. Just something to ponder.

Got to disagree with you slightly about the recruiting at Georgia. After Goff had been in place for a few years, UGA's talent level dropped off and the state of Georgia was hemorraging recruits to out of state schools. A lot of our success in the late 90s was on the bakcs of kids from Georgia (Jamal Lewis, Cosey Coleman, Deon Grant etc etc.
I dont know if we lose to SC, but if this season is any indication so far, its a good bet we'll get outcoached by Spurrier, our offense will be close to non-existent, and our special teams will play poorly. This game has potential to be really scary. But with our offense, all games are potentially scary, regardless of who we play.

I see UT coming out on top 24-13. Yes, that's right! Look you guys put up some points against LSU, so the potential is there. And defense will create some opportunities for you also.
I hate the Irish. Every year, Irish this-Irish that. Press says,"They are 4-7, but are the BEST 4-7 in the Nation! Let's rank em' #8 in the BCS" GAH... They played USC tough, but come on their defense is not UT! And ND "D" is not BAMA's. Go Vols!!!
I hate ND!!! But Weiss, gotta respect.
P.S. I would root for you to beat them regardless of the BCS!

WEIS EXTENSION
NOTRE DAME, Ind. University of Notre Dame head football coach Charlie Weis has signed a new, 10-year contract to continue as coach of the Fighting Irish program through the 2015 campaign.
Weis, who is in his first season at the Irish helm in 2005, signed an original six-year contract (that took him through the 2010 season) when he was hired on Dec. 12, 2004, as Notre Dames 28th head football coach. This new agreement that takes effect with the 2006 season -- adds an additional five years to that commitment.
In his first season with the Irish in 2005, Weis has led the Irish to a current 5-2 record that has earned his team rankings this week of ninth in the Associated Press media poll, 10th by USA Today (the coaches poll) and Harris Interactive, and 15th in the Bowl Championship Series standings. The Irish already have defeated three ranked opponents (AP poll) on the road posting wins over 23rd-ranked Pittsburgh, third-rated Michigan and 22nd-ranked Purdue.
To this point in the season, this 05 Notre Dame team represents the highest-scoring Irish team in modern history at 37.9 points per game. Quarterback Brady Quinn (in only seven games) already has broken the Irish single-season record for touchdown passes with 20, including a single-game record six against BYU. Quinn has played a key role in the Irish currently averaging 340 passing yards per game, far above the all-time Notre Dame season average of 252.7 from 1970.
Meanwhile, wide receiver Jeff Samardzija ranks second in the country with his 11 TD receptions, including at least one in a Notre Dame-record seven straight games to start 2005. Wide receiver Maurice Stovall set a Notre Dame single-game record of his own versus BYU with four TD receptions.
In a very short period of time, Charlie has clearly and impressively demonstrated the ability to take the Notre Dame program where we all want it to go, said Notre Dame athletics director Kevin White.
Whether you talk about on-field results, off-the-field understanding of the Notre Dame athletics and academic culture, recruiting, public relations, or any other area, Charlie already has indicated that he possesses the abilities to position our program to compete at the elite level of college football.
Were excited that Charlie wanted to extend his commitment to Notre Dame, combined with the Universitys interest in furthering its relationship with him. All of us are enthusiastic about what the future holds for Notre Dame football with Charlie Weis as our head coach. Were confident that weve got the best coach in America ensconced at his alma mater for the remainder of his career.
Said Weis, Since the first day I arrived at Notre Dame as head football coach, one of my primary goals was to be able to see this job through to the time my son, Charlie, would graduate from the University of Notre Dame and to stay in this position until I retire. By restructuring this contract, adding an additional five years, this allows me to accomplish that goal. Maura, Charlie, Hannah and I are very happy to become a permanent fixture in the Notre Dame community.
