They won last week at UCLA, 20-6.

Through general incompetence, UCLA ended up with only 2 scholarship QBs. Both of them managed to get hurt, and so against Notre Dame they started a walk-on QB.

His name is McLeod Bethel-Thompson. I envision a prep school weenie of some sort, but who knows.

Anyway, he basically stunk and threw 4 INTs. That's still no excuse for losing to Notre Dame, so UCLA must have other issues.
 
Here's some interesting facts about ND.

  • The last time Notre Dame won a bowl game, Penn State was about to embark on a three-game winning streak against Michigan. Notre Dame's seniors were in second grade.
  • The NCAA's statistics website goes back to 2000. In that time, Rutgers' 2002 offense was the worst recorded at 214 yards per game. Notre Dame is averaging 137 yards per game.
  • 112 of the 119 I-A teams are averaging more than double Notre Dame's offensive output.
  • If Notre Dame had replicated its "breakout" performance against Michigan State in all four games, Notre Dame would be 118th in total offense, just ahead of Florida Atlantic.
  • Middle Tennessee State, Utah State, Temple, Colorado State, and Florida International are the only I-A teams with longer active losing streaks than Notre Dame. And Temple was robbed.
  • Over the past ten years, Notre Dame is the second most successful school in... Indiana. Over that span, Purdue is 79-49; Notre Dame is 75-51.

These are amazing, especially the fact that ND currently has the worst total offense of any team over the last five years.

That is amazing, especially since Wonderboy Weiss -- the offensive genius -- is one of the highest paid college coaches.
