fan forum Brian Kelly has said he has "no ill will" toward Brady Hoke for his comments about Notre Dame "chickening out of" the series with Michigan, but the same can't be said of Fighting Irish fans. photo by lon horwedel Hoke-y Comment Regarding Brady Hoke's comment about Notre Dame being "chicken," would you kindly remind him that since 1948 (65 years) his mighty Michigan teams have won half a national title, a split with Nebraska in 1997.

Be Careful What You Wish For It should be remembered that for- mer Michigan coach Lloyd Carr (19952007) strongly advocated eliminating Notre Dame from the Michigan schedule. Carr was quoted many times saying, "If they want to play us, make them join the Big Ten." Hugh Ruddock Paradise Valley, Ariz. Can ND Offense Show Some ID? If the Irish do not vastly improve on offense — regardless of who the quarterback is — the problem is bigger and more troubling than who is on the QB depth chart. Here are the hard 2012 numbers: • In passing efficiency, Notre Dame ranked 74th. • In the red zone, the Irish ranked 71st. Want to stay up-to-date with all the Irish news?
