Looking Back on What’s To Come: My God, I Really Hate BC
domer.mq
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…
| Opponent | Rush Rank/Total Yards/YPC |
|---|---|
| Kent State | 13/126/3.5 |
| Ga. Tech | 59/162/4.05 |
| UCF | 97/123/3.6 |
| Rhode Island | 116/53/1.8 |
| NC State | 109/35/1.5 |
| Va. Tech | 51/150/3.9 |
| UNC | 86/114/3.2 |
| Clemson | 90/87/2.8 |
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.

Dude, that schedule is a joke, and Fredo has been revealed recently. Rhode Freaking Island? They’re not even a team. Kent State and UCF are useless. So they’ve played a few real teams in GA Tech, UNC, NC State and Clemson. And the running averages are much higher there, though clearly they still do a good job with only GA Tech and the superduperoptionrunningnon-stopattackofjohnson getting over 4YPC. And NC State can’t run against geriatrics, so those stats dont really count either.
We probably won’t run well against them – but not bc they’re great. Bc we suck. We should run 4 and 5 wide all day and use that to spread them out like we did MSU/UNC, and set up the run that way. I hope we do. I hate BC.
I would like to see Jonas Gray get some carries. Maybe he is the spark we need in the back field. I Remember how Darius was a breath of fresh air against Michigan his freshman year.
I hope we don’t jump out to a lead. Is that a bad thing to wish for? I hope it’s like Purdue, tit (haha) for tat in the first half. Then announicng our presence with authority in the second. Someone let Golden Tate know that he has to play the whole game. And someone hire that guy who played Devine in “Rudy” to get in MoCrum’s face and yell “You’re a senior and our captain, act like it.”
Good. Good! Let the hate flow through you!
