They also have their toughest schedule in years

They have road games at Ohio State, Cal, Oregon, ASU and ND. The OSU game is September 12, so they might be particularly ripe for a loss -- perhaps even Carroll's worst-ever loss at USC (ND holds the current record, 27-16). They do have a bye week right before they come to ND, but then again so do we. If ND can't be competitive against USC this year, we never will be again under Weis.
