Sorry Charlie, ‘Weis Watch’ has begun at Notre Dame

The anticipation and intrigue centered on the postgame scene, where everyone wondered what Charlie Weis would say after the latest and perhaps greatest setback of his Notre Dame tenure. Would he attempt to spin Saturday night’s 17-0 loss to Boston College? How would he explain why his team was emotionally dead on arrival for such a crucial game?

Weis lauded his defense. He talked about poor field position and how offensive players were pressing, trying too hard to make plays and as a result making virtually none against a defense that, while ranked 10th in the nation, had allowed 31.5 points per game in its last four games.
