Washington will be much better. I think they will have 5 wins and the ND game is 50/50. Washington has a lot of talent and many on that team will get a chance in the NFL including all 3 linebackers.

Locker and the O line are the keys to the game. If Locker gets the ball to the receivers with any consistently and a few timely runs, ND will have a very tough time.

This is not

ND should win this game I agree, But when you go into a game as already a guarantee win, than a lot can go wrong. Don't under estimate coach Sark, and if Jake can stay healthy than the Dawgs just may surprise you. LSU will not blow out the Huskies at home. When this game is over LSU will just be happy with a win. As far as USC goes that all depends on what USC team comes to play. The Dawgs

"1) Washington will be much better, and 2) We will beat them."

Agree on #1. The odds on #2 are in your favor, but I take issue with the absolutism.

"I can see the Huskies winning as many as four games this year, but not much more than that. And one of those games will not be against the Irish, you can book that."

I'm expecting 6-7

TDS,
Don't forget the wave of damage he did when he insinuated that his firing was racially motivated. That's the kind of charge that doesn't go away easily. As long as ESPN continues to trot out the (invalid) comparisons between Weis' and Willingham's records, it's fair to point out what he did to the once proud program of Washington with a little more time.

Willingham never gave full effort (or even half effort) while constantly blaming his players (as opposed to himself). He almost tore this program down to the ground level, a program that was one game from the National Championship just a decade prior. Had he loved the University (like Faust) then it wouldn't be an issue, just something to laugh about. But he didn't, and he's still on

I think it is criminal that you and all other so called journalists or sports writers spend so much time, energy and money on running down Mr. Willingham. Let it go! As for Washington and their new coach, I say 3 wins and one against a truly better opponent.

That first paragraph is just journalistic gold.
