Looking Back on What’s To Come: My God, I Really Hate BC

Notre Dame’s rushing game sucks. Currently, it’s ranked #91 in the country with 121.75 yards rushing per game and 3.45 yards per carry. I just watched a toddler with one leg shorter than the other rush for more than 3.45 yards outside of my home office window. That’s how pathetic the Irish rushing attack is.

Boston College’s rushing defense does not suck. It’s ranked 19th in the country, giving up just 106 yards per game and 3.20 yards per carry. That’s right, without having even gotten to play the Irish’s suck of a rushing attack, they’re only giving up 3.2 yards per carry.

In fact, let’s look real quick at who Fredo has played so we can get a better sense of just how sad it will be to watch Armando Allen fall down on first contact against BC…

So The Golden Whoevers have played 5 teams with similarly embarrassing running games as the Irish: UCF, Rhode Island (I didn’t even know they had a program), NC State, UNC, and Clemson. And only UCF managed to gain more than 3.5 yards per carry against BC.

Given the fact that ND’s OL has never heard of blocking until the whistle, and ND’s RBs wouldn’t know a proper cut in a walk-through, let alone a live game, these statistics seem to project a YPC of about 1.

My God, do I hate BC. My God, am I angry.

Speaking of my anger: Theisman said of ND, “If you could find a way to bottle the Notre Dame spirit, you could light up the universe.” A quote, by the way, that is unspeakably lame and probably caused Irish fans everywhere to look for ways to intertwine it into poetry – poetry on the nobility of not blowing out inferior opponents. Well, right now, if you could bottle up my anger with this program, you could drop it on Pakistan and end that whole “we haven’t eliminated Bin Laden” problem.
