Sortive without the 60 yard kick in the nuts run in the 4th i was spot on.

Minus Ryan Hamby's lapse on how to block, id say i was accurate.

We sat back in base defense the first drive to see what 'ol Charlie would do, thats when Darius got most of his yards, so i rest my case.

Completely wrong, ND's line got raped all night long. Brady was taking it harder from AJ than Laura ever will.

Rape, rape, rape, rape, rape. Heacock coached circles around Charlie.

Enough McDonalds gift certificates to feed charlie for his midnight snack, and we still put up 617 yards of total offense. How does that stack up historically against ND by the way?
