Other than the defense against Navy I think Crist has been the most frustrating thing about this team. He can look so good and then so bad in the same quarter of football.
The interesting thing about this article and Crist, is what happens next year. Rees already looks more comfortable in the offense than Crist (though admittedly against lesser competition) and will have 3 more games experience, Hendrix and Massa are waiting in the wings, and Crist will be coming off another rehab. Does it seem less likely that Crist is the starter again next year?

Very nice analysis KA. To think with a better turnover margin and a few less injuries this team could have 1 or 2 losses. The next 3 games will be so huge for this program and the future of BK. If I were BK I would tell my assistants to spend some time each week in preparation for the USC game because a win against SC would be an absolute program changer in my opinion. With all the negativity surrounding the program right now the players, coaches, and the whole ND nation desperately need something to feel good about heading into the off season. Even though SC is a bit down this year they are still SC and we haven’t beaten them in what feels like an eternity. Another thing BK needs to do is finish very strong in recruiting, loosing none of the commits we have now and landing 4-5 more top notch players. Priority #1: Beat SC (which would most likely mean bowl eligibility). Priority #2: Finish strong in recruiting. Do this and I think BK will get some of the fools who are jumping all over his back to calm down.

Absolutely spot-on….they just absolutely kill themselves all the time. On the field and sometimes on the sideline.
