No Sweat -- Notre Dame Will Cruise Over Army

What would you say the odds are that Notre Dame loses to Army on Saturday? A thousand to one? A million to one?

Let's face it. The Cadets have no chance in this game. Zero. Unless an earthquake swallows up the Irish during their game-day walk to Notre Dame Stadium, it ain't happening.

Saying Army has problems is like saying the sun will rise in the East. It has no set starting quarterback. Its best player, Caleb Cambell, is out for the season with a torn ACL. One of its best players, defensive end Cameron Craig, is hindered by a sprained ankle. It has committed 32 turnovers this season, the most in the nation. It has lost four in a row, including a miserable 43-7 performance against Air Force.

Yes, that's the same Air Force Notre Dame whipped last Saturday.

The Irish (9-1) have one game before next week's epic showdown at USC and they are not about to blow it. Not with these stakes. Not on Senior Day.

So if you bleed for the Blue & Gold, you can relax this week. Next week you'll have plenty of time to sweat.
