Notre Dame Plays Stupid and Sloppy Football; Pulls Out the Win at Pitt [1]

The Fighting Irish are their own worst enemy this season.

Notre Dame [6] got the win against Pittsburgh, but it sure wasn't pretty. In a game marred by poor decisions, bad penalties and turnovers, the Fighting Irish were lucky to get a road win against the Panthers today.

Oklahoma's Ryan Broyles leads one of the nation's top receiving corps.

They're the teams within the team - those cohesive little units bound together by their shared responsibilities within the larger team context.

Whether it's the offensive linemen firing off time after time into those familiar blocking sleds, or the defensive linemen drilling repeatedly on how to shed blockers, or the defensive backs breaking on ball after ball - these teams in miniature hone their tasks on the practice field until those tasks become second nature.
