Recruiting and Dream Schedule 7

We picked up two new recruit over the weekend, neither of which were any real showstoppers. Alex Amidon gives us some more depth at WR but I haven't found any real info on him. Andre Williams a 5'11" 202 lb "Bowling Ball"(ESPN) seems to be something of a mystery. ESPN has him tagged as a slow but powerful runner with good blocking but little upside @ halfback, projecting a possible switch to fullback. Meanwhile examiner.com has Williams as a 4.3 40 runner. One thing to keep in mind is that many of our great players were guys who developed.(See A. Castonzo)

and now week 7
Who we play: NC State
Who we should play: NC State
Ok so if I had looked at the schedule and planned this out ahead of time I might have seen that most of our schedule isn't half bad. Regardless I still like this project so I'll move forward. This is the start of our next Notre Dame Rivalry. I'm not saying Tom O'Brien was the best coach BC ever had, I'm not even saying he was as liked as Frank Leahy, but he was good, he abandoned ship and it's a divisional matchup. Theres no reason not to like this game.
This year: Tom O'Brien finally makes his triumphant return to Chestnut Hill*
'07: Decent win for Matt and Co.

*I'd like to share a realization I've made when making my projections on win/loss. Due to the fact that a number of these matchups have been the same I've taken a look at them and we are outgunned and overmatched a lot of the time. I do not however feel like we could not win these games. I truly get the feeling that if we play right, even with our loss of players this year, that we could win pretty much every game so far.
