Can Notre Dame find some offense?

Big Saturday for college football fans. No, wait, let me amend that. Huge Saturday for college football fans. It's only week 3 but the season is already on the line for a lot of teams. Here are some of the questions that'll be answered come Sunday.

• Can the legend of Lou Holtz lead the Fighting Irish to a victory over Michigan or will the Wolverines' defense dominate an anemic Notre Dame offense?
• Will OSU-USC live up to the hype?
• Can Maryland, a team that lost Middle Tennessee State last week, use its terrible past performance to catch Cal sleeping?
• Is Fresno State for real? Wisconsin is about to find out.
  
• Can Kansas win its first regular-season non-conference game with both teams nationally ranked since 1960? Does that even make sense?
  
• If UCLA is down by one with two seconds left in its game against BYU, should the Bruins go for two? And if they score, will they celebrate?
• The choice is yours, Big Ten or Pac-10? (Ducks vs. Boilermakers is also the most interesting mascot match up of the weekend.)
• Is the winner of Virginia Tech vs. Georgia Tech the best team in the ACC? And does that matter anymore?
• Will Washington coach Ty Willingham have a job after his Huskies take on Oklahoma?
• Can Bowling Green beat Boise State on the smurf turf?
