Notre Dame and Washington meet this upcoming Saturday for their annual game. In years past this was a very intriguing matchup with both teams being predominant powers in college football, now not so much. This game still has some interesting story lines along with it. Notre is 4 and 2, coming off of last season's 3 and 9 collapse, but they are steadily on the rise once again. Washington on the other hand is...well technically I don't know what the Huskies are. I just know that they're bad and there seems to be little hope in the foreseeable future. The Irish and Huskies do share something in common, the head coaches. Charlie Weis was very successful in his first two years as head coach, but that was with Tyrone Willingham's players. He is now starting to get his players into the system and they are starting to produce. Tyrone Willingham just seems to have bad fortune. The Huskies are defeated thus far through the season and star quarterback Jake Locker is on the sideline with a thumb injury. Willingham, I feel was treated poorly at Notre Dame as he was given only three years to try to succeed. His tenure at Washington has been even worst. Willingham has a career record of 11 wins and 31 losses ate Washington. It's sad to say, but there is a slim chance that Willingham will be back next season.
I also wanted to make a few notes about this upcoming weekend. Unbeaten Oklahoma State and number one ranked Texas meet in Austin. It looks like the winner of this game could go on to win the Big 12. In Baton Rouge, Louisiana, LSU battles Georgia in a great SEC matchup. The game of the week has to be the prime-time game this weekend. Penn State battles Ohio State in Columbus on Saturday night and this game has incredible implications. The winner of this game will go on to win the Big 10 and have a shot at the National Title, especially Penn State because they have the chance of going undefeated. This should be a great weekend full of BCS busters.
