:: NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL: Irish Game Day 2011 ::
:: Champs Sports Bowl: Notre Dame comes up short after leading 14-0, loses to Florida State 18-14, finishes 8-5
The much-anticipated Notre Dame-Florida State tussle in the Champs Sports Bowl started out with ferocious defense, with Notre Dame leading 7-0 at the half after scoring on a 29-yard return by Zeke Motta of a Florida State fumble forced by Manti Te'o, and Notre Dame securing 4 sacks in a first half where each team managed only roughly 100 yards of offense; but in the second half, after Michael Floyd ripped the ball away from a defender in the end zone to put Notre Dame up 14-0, Florida State eventually got a bick kick-off return and its own passing game uncorked to score two touchdowns and two field-goals; in the end, Notre Dame doomed itself once again with turnovers, with their quarterback tandem throwing three combined interceptions, two in the end zone, all of them ugly and ill-advised ... Notre Dame once again struggles to stay above .500 then finishes 8-5 ... check back for more coverage
Notre Dame plays its seventh game all-time against Florida State, going up against a Seminole club that is ranked #1 in net punting; #2 rushing defense; #4 scoring defense; #5 tackles for loss; #6 total defense; #9 sacks; #18 pass defense; #18 passing efficiency; #21 kickoff returns; ... #73 total offense; #99 rushing offense; #111 sacks allowed ...

:: Champs Sports Bowl: Notre Dame at a crossroads in must-win contest against Florida State: game preview
On balance, Notre Dame and Florida State appear fairly evenly matched. Both have lost key tandem running backs while also fielding strong defenses. Both have strong punters, but Notre Dame has a terrible punt return game despite a strong kick return game. Florida State has a big, mobile quarterback who nevertheless gives up sacks. Notre Dame's offense is deep and opportunitistic. But the Irish have been uneven with preparation, intensity and focus throughout the season. Look for the game to tip
on whether Notre Dame is peaking and ready to play, and whether the Irish play mistake-free football, especially in the areas of turnovers and penalties ... click for more
