Its a good thing this is the second game of the year and not later in the season after both teams have multiple losses each. As it is Notre Dame will only have one loss going into the game as they will lose the opener at Georgia Tech. Ask Auburn how tough it is to open there and they will find it a lot harder to win when the bullseye is on their back and they are no longer the darlings of college football as people finally have a reason to hate them again and not feel sorry for them. Wow, Penn State comming off a "big" win against FSU, a team that lost 3 of its last four going into the Orange bowl. After the season is over this will be the most disspointing game of the year.
