Default OT: Wow, Charlie Weis is going to have to explain this one...

For anybody else that watched the Michigan/Notre Dame game, the second best of the year so far behind Miami/Florida State IMO, Weis and his Offensive Coordinator are going to have some explaining to do. 2:00 to go in the 4th quarter, Notre Dame up 34-31 having just gotten the ball back. The first down play is a rush off the left side of the line for 11 yards. First down. Then, inexplicably, with 2:00 remaining, the Irish decide to call three straight (and incomplete) passing plays. One of them is a 40 yard bomb down the sideline that was almost picked off. WTF is that? If Notre Dame runs it three times instead of throwing it, Michigan does not win that game and Weis' job is likely secure.

Anybody else think that Weis is going to get canned at the end of the season?

Oh and, sorry mods if you have to move this. I didn't know where else to put this considering that we don't have a College Football forum.

I was thinking the exact same thing...


Clausen's decision making was awful at times. Almost everytime he saw one deep safety - he'd throw it deep to the reciever running a 'go route' along the sideline. Really, they must've done it 10 times and they never connected. I'm all for taking a shot deep to keep the D honest, but he was doing it on the drive where all ND needed to do was move the chains and kill time. Why throw such a low percentage pass? Poor play calling/decision making lost it for Notre Dame.

On the drive where ND took the lead, all of Clausen's passes came on shorter high percentage routes - mostly because the D played 2-deep. He tried just one shot deep, but the rest was short passing and good running.

The only even remote explanation might be that even if they ran the ball, Michigan would have called their timeouts resulting in Big Blue getting the ball back with the same amount of time. BUT they wouldn't have had their timeouts affecting their play calling......
Not smart no matter how you cut it....

I kinda like Weis but I remember Weiss on the Pat calling a game against Miami? where he inexplicably called 3 passing plays that gave the enemy the ball with too much time. It's inherent.

Tate certainly flunked the "clutch" test.

Really, the playcalling was so unlike Weis, too. He was never known for stuff like that with the Pats or when he had Brady Quinn. That's why I'm guessing Clausen's decision making was to blame.

Sad too, cause beyond that Jimmy played really well.

And another thing, was it just me or did that ball go out of bounds with a second left on the clock? It probably wouldn't have mattered though, what with Clausen putting enough air under his deep passes that the ball went into the stratosphere before it came down.

It was the same situation as SB XXXIX when the Pats ran the ball three straight times to milk the clock at the end. Had Charlie gone that route, ND would be 2-0 right now.

I really like Weis. I think he's a good offensive mind. That's the reason I always pull for Notre Dame other than the outside chance that they play the Gators. And I remember that game too. Looked a lot like this one, lol.
