You can see how the defense is forming nicely under Corwin. Even though we're 1-6, I'm always excited to see what the defense can do. The offense seems to be getting better (slowly), but the running game is non-existent. I truly believe the IRISH can keep it close again, but fall short in the second half due to the lack of playmaking abilities by the offense. CW said they are "all over" recruiting (offense). I can only hope he's right.

Holy Blistering Claussen Pickles! Here's trusting Sharpley will have a good showing at the USC game! And truly hoping a good offensive line shows up.
