41 points a game average for the IRISH offense so far.

Has that ever happened before for ND for the starting 4 games? The ND offense is just getting warmed up. Wait until Tori Hunter and CJ Sanders and Aliz'e Jones get involved more in the offense.

Notre Dame is also 6th in the nation in rushing offense. How do you like Kelly now?

I would love to see Hunter get more involved. I know Carlisle had a good game, but I would much rather see Hunter....

Like many here, I've had my reservations about BK but not because he called a bad play here and there that cost ND a game or screamed at players. That said, there is no denying that he has turned ND around and brought respectability back to this storied program.

Winning out September three of the last four years is an incredible feat. And, to have this offense humming at such an incredible rate with a third-string QB and RB shows me how well he has recruited and, more importantly, how well he is developing depth in this program. He has a special eye for talent and knows how to bring out the best in the talent he is bringing into the program. Any fan that can sit back and deny what he's brought to ND is refusing to see the great things he's done with the program IMO.

Bodi did you notice the punting average from the UMASS game? 5 punts and a 52.2 average!

Yes I did, Ara. Tyler Newsome has been an amazing punter so far. NDs special teams have improved immensely. Returning, too--with CJ Sanders being a threat. Just in time for the Title run this year.

Speaking of Newsome, I think he would be a good candidate for holder on FGs. Punters usually do well holding for FGs.
