~ ------THE Monday, November 3, 2003 OBSERVER Florida State 37, Notre Dame 0 Bro enrecor Florida State gets revenge with 37-0 embarrassment of the Irish

By JUSTIN SCHUVER Associate Sporrs Ediror

Last year, after No. 11 Florida State lost at home 34-24 to No. 6 Notre Dame. Seminole coach Bobby Bowden said his team was "bumfuzzled" by the Irish. Saturday, the legendary coach got revenge for that loss by handing the Irish a 37-0 defeat, the first time Notre Dame had been shut out at home since 1978. After starting the 2002 season 8-0 and bringing the Irish to as high as No. 4 in the nation, head coach Tyrone Willingham has seen his team go 4-9 since. "This is always one of the most difficult jobs as a coach - when things aren't going well, to keep the team moving for­ ward and keep them positive," Willingham said. "We will find ways to do that." In what has become a bit of a broken record this season, the Irish {2-6) again found themselves looking for answers after being dominated by a ranked team. Notre Dame fell on the road to then-No. 7 Michigan 38-0 and lost to then-No. 5 USC at home 45-17. Factor in a 44-13 loss on the road to USC at the end of last season, and the Irish have lost four of their last 10 games by 31 points or more. Oft-criticized Florida State quarterback Chris Rix torched the Irish through the air Saturday, completing 17 -of-31 passes for 327 yards and three touchdowns. He also threw three interceptions. but the Irish were unable to capitalize on the turnovers. Wide receiver Craphonso Thorpe set a­ record for most receiving yards in a game by one player against Notre Dame, catching seven passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns. He jumpstarted the Florida State offensive attack with a 38- yard reception on the Seminoles' first play from scrimmage. "They consistently kept the pressure on us and didn't allow us to make the plays we needed to make," Willingham said.
