Exit the tunnell and you hear the sounds.....footsteps of days gone by......cheers of a Montana pass......Crunching pads of a Bettis TD......the roar from the lockerroom after a Rockne speech.....win one baby....win on for the Gipper! Win one for the Commish!!!
It's not the BCS Championship, it's not an overpowering win, it wasn't mistake free, but my Irish opened up the 2010 season and the Brian Kelly era with a win. 23-12 over a decent Purdue team. (when I say decent I mean they will probably win more than they lose this season)
What made it exciting for me were two things I haven't seen in a long time.....Being able to run the football (Armando Allen had over 100 yds and Woods had around 57) and the defense able to stop someone. I actually got to see the defense have a couple of 3 and outs in a row!
Next week we get Michigan, who seems like they'll beat UConn today handily. It will be a tough game as the Michigan coaches are on the hotseat to win this year. After that Michigan St.
You know what they say....One game at a time....At least I get to rejoice this long weekend with an IRISH win...................
By the way, congrats to my fellow bloggers on opening wins as well:
Miami
Florida St.
Sorry Frank, BS State doesn't play until Monday...
