He completed 7 of 8 pa5ses on the winning drive and fih ished with a career-high 300 yards passing. "He knows he's a passer first and runner second, and 1 that' s the toughest thing to teach a qmU1erback that has athleticism to realize that," Weis said. "J think he's learned that, and you .can see him evolve from the be·ginning of the year to the end of the year where he now understands that he'll run when he has to, not when he wants to." Tre.ssel said Smith has that undefinable something that makes him 'a natural leader. "He's got something about him that people enjoy following," the Ohio State coach said.

Those accolades went to the guy on the other sidehne, the one with the crewcut and the stapled stomach. You know, the one with three Super Bowl nngs earned while coachmg New England's offense. Charlie Wets had the bling and the quarterback. Just 2:01 mto the Fiesta Bowl, hts offense also had an astonishingly easy touchdown The rlan was to make those kind o big plays, and wm the game by taking chances because Notre Dame took a big chance every time its defense was owthe field. Unfonunately for the Irish, tt wasn't enough against another coach who knew a bit about oft'ense himself. "Our mentality ~oing in was to take chances,' Weis said. "The team understood the riskreward factor because I explained it to them how we were going to play the game." The team also understood what it would have meant for fPe Irish to break a seven-game bowl losing streak that dates back 12 years. It couldn't, though, and its magical season endea without a magiqiJinish. Before anyone starts feeling sorry for Weis or the Irish, though, imagine what lies ahead. In just one seasqn, Weis has resurrected a team that was foundering under Ty Willingham and restored the vaunted Notre Dame name to the top of college fqotball' s elite. He came within a whisker of beating the nation's No. I team in the game of the year, made a Heisman candidate out of quarterback Brady Quinn, and brought back the swagger c.~ ~ribune ' in South Bend. Along the way, he made htmself very rich with a new 10year contract. When you bring your team a $14.5 million bowl payday who can complain? Winning the Fiesta Bowl. would have been a nice way to fmish it off. Losing it doesn't make what happencil at the prevtous II games mean any less. "Obviously it's a bit rhetorical," Weis srud. "When you win a game it obviously has a more positive effect than when you Jose. I'm not going to say it has no effect at all, but these guys now realize what to do." Weis had told hts players and the media that thts team would be remembered by the way it played in the final game of the season, not what it did along the way to Arizona. A 9-3 season would be nice, Wets said, but a 10-2 season with a win in the Fiesta Bowl would make a statement. He hasn't been wrong about many things since leavmg the Patnots to take the Notre Dame job, but Weis was wrong about that. This will be a season ultimately remembered not for a 34-20 loss in the Fiesta Bowl, but for the new era he ushered inHe iook over a team going nowhere with an underperforming quarterback, installed a pro offense and led the Irish to within six points of finishing the regular season undefeated. That offense - played respectably against the Buckeyes after sputtering for much of the first half. Weis hurned things up with a no huddle in the second half. and the game eventually got interesnng again. . Unfortunately, Notre Dame didn't bring much of a defense, glVlng up 617 yards, many of them otithe kind of btg touchdown plays that the Irish were suppos~d . to make, not the Buckeyes. The final touchdown came on a 60-yard run by, Antonio Ptttman that sealed the game. "1 was dtsappointed in the number of big plays we gave up," Weis said 'That was critical." Weis may be a coach with offenstve roots, but the defense only figures to get belter as hts recruits begin_ arriving in greater numbers in South Bend Already his next class is being hailed as one of the nation's best, and with Quinn and a good portion of the offense returning, watch out. • And look at what he 's already done at hts alma mater A year ago, Wets was trymg to do two jobs at once, helping the Patriots to a Super Bowl win while using every break to recruit players to join him in his new job He wore his Super Bowl rings to impress kids, and he managed to win another while doing s6 Now he can devote hts sole attention 10 the task at hand, which· means leadmg Notre Dame to a national champiunship Of course, he and Irish fans would view anything else as a failure. Weis wandered around the field after the game, offered congratulations to <?hio State players. and got hts ptcture taken wtth hts 12-year-old son. He then headed mto the locker room, where he hoped hts play· ers would be hurtmg from the loss. . _ He tssued a challenge tor them to respond to the loss, to come back even better. "They have to know how bad this feels," Wets said. "They're the ones who have to make the strides and take it to ttJc: next level,because today ,?bv10usly wasn t good enough. Not for one day it wasn't. Because of Charlie Weis, though, the best ts still ahead for the Irish. track." Tech (II-2) scored <;m three consecutive possessions in · the second half, tummg a 1710 deficit into a 28-24 lead. James Anderson sealed the victory when he intercepted Hunter Cantwell's pass and returned 11 39 yards for a touchdown with 5:04 to play. "That was a big play," Anderson said. "It came at the nght ttme and I was m the right spot.
