Scoreboard Watching Will offense come of age in Brian Kelly���s ���senior��� season? By Lou Somogyi ���Offense wins games; defense wins championships.��� T his exhausting bromide is repeated annually on telecasts about, oh ��� several hundred times per football season. It is accurate to state that defense was the primary reason why Notre Dame was the top surprise of the 2012 college football regular season with a 12-0 record and No.�� 1 national ranking. It wasn���t a coincidence Rising junior quarterback Everett Golson���s biggest challenge in 2013 will be to improve Notre Dame���s red-zone efficiency, after the Irish scored touchdowns on only 48.3 percent of their opportunities in 2012. photo by bill panzica
