The biggest storyline going into this game has almost nothing to do with the opponent slinking out the tiny tunnel. It has everything to do with last week’s game against Ohio State and how the Irish respond. The game in Columbus left a taste in our collective mouths not unlike the pole found at The Backer.

Offensive play calling, line play on either side, the Salerno pass interference call...pick your poison, it’s all a rotten flavor we as fans need to wash from collective mouths.
