Love the win, but there is work to be done.

1) it should provide + momentum in and of itself.
2) Good news is there is plenty of time to improve going into CFP

I’m not sure if we win this game with Toney in the game.

There are definitely the flashes of brilliance and execution, but I still worry about Carr and team (and with MD’s call playing) being able to go blow to blow with a full-powered O like Miami’s, or at minimum, being able to execute a final winning TD drive when it’s needed.

But, again, at the end of the day, we got the win!
And there is runway to get better.

I’m pissed at how we blew the lead. But, Miami is good. They’re #1. Did we really think that Cristabol and the #1 ranked team was just going to roll over? It turned into a fight in the 2nd half. I just wish on that one 3 and out we would have ran the ball instead of running 2 fades. Now granted 70 got his but whipped a little in the 2nd half. Then put Walton in and run stretch. That’s the really frustrating part to tonight.

Turnover free football is how you win games. They did it in '93 and they did it today.

This would have been a blow out if Talich's FF was recovered by ND instead it bounces forward they get a first down and momentum. Football gods paid us back by Talich knocking that ball loose in the endzone.

Major shoutout to the defensive line tonight. They pressured Mensah all night and were strong against the run. Especially impressive without Brewu and Onye. This team has heart. Huge victory. Carr delivered a gem. Wow what a talented qb with the moxy of a 10 year NFL veteran. So proud of this team and Freeman right now. Awesome.

Also would like to give kudos to Mylan Graham. Took that massive hit and still held onto the ball to set up the huge 4th and 3 play to James.
He made 2 huge catches. Kid can get separation. Feel his story is far from over at ND. That was massive to hold on to the ball and not fumble on a big hit. Great game for him tonight.
