ND Squeaks Out Another One

It ended up being 37-30 after one overtime period, Notre Dame beating Washington. It was another nail-biter, not knowing if the Irish were going to lose it at the very end of the game. ND stopped Washington in three goal line stands - that's a miracle in itself that the Huskies couldn't score. Now Jimmy Clausen's name is being mentioned for the Heisman award later in the year. Tim Tebow has been out for a few weeks recovering from a concussion, and Colt McCoy from Texas is #2 on the list. That's a longshot for Jimmy, especially considering that ND isn't in the Top 25. I say "let it fly" to Jimmy to rack up all the yardage and victories that he can to give him the best shot. Both ND and USC are off this Saturday, October 10th, and then they both meet in South Bend the next Saturday, the 17th. Hot dog - we'll be there for that one, and the ND-BC game the following week. We were lucky enough to be at the ND-USC game in 2005 (the "Bush-Push" game where USC won at the very end)...talk about having heart attacks at the finish of a game! Below is the 2007 game where ND wore the throwback colors from 30 years ago. See if you can find the ball and the receiver.
