[B]Irish coach Kevin Corrigan said the 0-8 performance was far more a reflection of his team's shortcomings than Syracuse's strength.

"I can go back and look at them and I can think of five off the top of my head where we had exactly what we wanted and didn't catch the ball, didn't throw a good pass,'' he said. "There's no man up that works if you don't execute. If you've got a guy open on the crease and you throw him a bad pass, then I don't think that's the other team. If you throw a guy a good pass and he drops it, I don't think that's the other team.''

Coming into the contest Syracuse had surrendered just 24 man-up opportunities all season, killing 13. Orange coach John Desko was clearly unhappy with several of the calls that sent his players off the field Saturday, but he more or less held his tongue on the penalty disparity (the Fighting Irish was called for just a single penalty).

"Usually if you get in a tight game, the ball's going back and forth. Penalties are kind of more even,'' he said. "I've got to be careful what I say. I didn't agree with all of them. But fortunately our man-down did a good job of staying tight, knowing who they were. Notre Dame does a really nice job of moving their people around. And getting some skip passes. I think our defense understood that and took away the skip passes today.''
