By now we've gotten over our only loss of the season (our only game played too) and we have full concentration of our next opponent, the Pennsylvania State Nittany Lions.

If you read what people think over in Happy Valley, they will say it's not a good time for Notre Dame to visit, and I couldn't disagree more.

What happened on Saturday was a fluke. I'll say it. It was a pure fluke. We had coaches that went out on the field with a game plan in mind to make themselves competitive and they took themselves and these players away from the offense and the state of mind that they've grown accustomed to under Weiss. They've grown accustomed to dominating the opposing defense and doing what they please with the ball

These players don't forget and will not forget how successful they were and will be if only they had one thing, confidence. The coaching staff walked away from what they do best and the game on Saturday displayed to benefits to that. Now, this team needs to walk forward in the same direction of past year's teams and play like they know how to play.

You may not see a Quinn, Walker, or even a Samardzija on the field, but you will see a Clausen, Allen/Aldridge, and Parris. You will see a group of athletes who have been waiting in the wings to display to the nation what they are capable of doing with the single best college football program in history.

I sure don't want to be in Beaver Stadium when this team unloads on a Penn State team that humiliated a very weak Florida International team that had mismatched jerseys and basketball shoes on. If I were those players, I would listen very closely to Paterno, who has coached countless battles between these two teams.

I am starting to think that the first game against Georgia Tech was a sign. A sign that good things are to come. I would be very careful what you wish for in Happy Valley, because this could very well turn into a 17 point game, but maybe not in the way you would like to see it.
