I never would have thought I would be relieved that ND beat Syracuse. I mean, there was a time when a game against a team like Syracuse wouldn't even have drawn my attention. I could devote the day to the wife and kids with the knowledge I could sit down in the evening and watch a sure blow out. Texas losing again, Duke losing. ND is really down there with the dregs of college football. Michigan looks so good on defense. UW is back to being a power on defense.
