The day began with concerns of Brian Kelly going back on his word of making Everett Golson his starting QB. The game itself began with worries that Miami would torch the Notre Dame defense all game long and that Tommy Rees' first nightmare drive would ensure the Irish offense would sputter. Then Miami roughed Ben Turk, Everett Golson ran onto the field, and the worries were gone. ...

All of this analysis glosses over the fact that Miami isn't that great and I'm here to fix that. ...

The grueling journey ended with the discovery of plenty adverse effects from NCAA sanctions, a trio of unfit sailors, a couple of quarterback question marks, and a lot of injured offensive linemen. Updates are listed in the order of the ND schedule. Like Everett Golson trying to get used to the playbook, I am still trying to get figure out HLS 3.0 ...
