		<description><![CDATA[I could go on and on. Anyway, I think I can objectively make the case that ND’s 4-1 record against their schedule is AT LEAST the equal or BETTER than the performance to date of the teams mentioned above. Sure, ND could stink up the joint vs USC in two weeks and this observation and argument is moot. But I sure get the feeling that a win over #7 USC will somehow be discounted as tainted, lucky, an aberration, etc. and ND might climb all the way up to ….. #23! Wow.

		<description><![CDATA[The first half saw ND keep the game closer than it should’ve been.  This was capped by another failure to close the first half as the Irish gave up a FG after allowing Washington to travel about 60 yards in less than a minute.    In addition to the fumble by Clausen returned for a TD, which was really the play that kept Washington in until the end, another big second half disappointment was ND’s inability to score a TD once reaching the UW 2 yard line and had to settle for a FG to take 19-17 lead.  Then after relinquishing a Husky TD on their first drive of the 3rd, ND quickly moved to Washington’s 30 yard line where they had a 2nd down and two.  A false start penalty on the Irish spoiled a good chance of keeping the chains moving and Turk punted.

		<description><![CDATA[Clausen took over from there. Hobbled with a sore toe on his plant foot, Clausen and Notre Dame took possession on their own 28. The junior signal caller completed passes to Golden Tate, Robert Hughes, and Kyle Rudolph, and ND had first down on the Boilermaker 32. Completions to Robby Parris and Tate gave the Irish first and goal on the Purdue 4-yard line.
