Another crushing victory by the Fighting Irish, who gave away an 18-point lead just to make it interesting before pulling it out in overtime. For the sake of their fans, though, it would be nice if they would just put the losing team away when they have the game under control. Their defense seemed AWOL for much of the game, too, but it may turn out that Florida State has a genuinely impressive offense. Time will tell as the season goes on. The bottom line: a win's a win; we'll take it.

Record so far: 1-0 (11 to go, not counting the BCS playoff)

Next victim: Toledo

Tune time!
