Notre Dame 33 Washington 7

The death watch is on at Montlake.

I got up at 4 AM in Nuremberg to watch the last quarter of this on the slingbox prior to getting ready to leave on the long trip back to Ann Arbor, having already stayed up until almost 1 AM to watch UM versus MSU.

I did get to see Washington's one touchdown but the rest of the game was a disaster, clear and simple. Willingham looked like a deer in the headlights on the sidelines. Everyone knows it is over now.

USC are 43 (!) point favorites next Saturday in LA.
