A crazy week -- in the weirdest way -- led to near upsets, embarrassing performances, showdowns that lived up to the hype, and some clarifications as we inch our way towards conference play.
If last week was based in overreaction, this week is doused in sheer terror of what lies ahead, after one of the more bizarre Saturdays we've ever seen -- despite the fact that, honestly, not much happened.
Perhaps the biggest news to come from the day was Malik Zaire, the most dynamic quarterback we've seen at Notre Dame in some time, going down for the year after a nasty ankle break in the team's miraculous, come-from-behind-in-the-last-second-like-only-they-can kind of win.
