We watched the ND-Michigan game on Saturday and enjoyed an entertaining game until the end.It seemed that ND was outcoached and the Irish gave away the game to a team they should have beaten.
Afterward, Charlie Weis blamed the refs for the loss even though he seemed to be doing all he could to make sure Michigan would win.
His players:
took unsportsmanlike conduct penalties
didn't know to let the last kickoff roll into the end zone
didn't know to kill the clock or call timeout on the last play of the game
That's all coaching.
Charlie:
failed to run out the clock with running plays toward the end
allowed Michigan to save their timeouts for the winning drive
gave them the ball with plenty of time on the clock
allowed the officials to take a second off the clock after the last kickoff
finished the game with an unused timeout
At halftime we thought the Irish were in control of the game.
The second half belonged completely to Michigan. Obviously,
the coaching adjustments made by Michigan were far better
than those made by the Irish.
It's too bad a great game was ruined by horrendous ND coaching.

I agree
Charlie has a history of not making the correct adjustment at half time and as a result his second half record stinks.
Golden Tate said after the game when asked about his dropping some passes that he 'was not focused'. I also read theat the team was not ready for Michigan as the practices all week were 'too casual'
