That’s just not how sports work dude. It wasn’t a judgment call going against you. There was a second left. Don’t judge those of us who think it’s fucked up we just weren’t allowed one more shot at it.
Whole lot needs to change for it not to be. Take all the last second controversy aside, ND should never have been in a spot to lose. BYU is not that good, especially without LJ Martin. There are about a half dozen other teams I think are better than them. We got absolutely owned for one half. And we were barely better in the other half. As it stands, this is not a team that can be expected to win against the best teams in the country.
The personnel usage is a massive issue. The drive in the fourth where Sanders had the pick we had Hughes and Sevillano in the game. BYU barely had the ball in the second half get your 1s in there ready to go.
ND outplayed them the 2nd half man. It’s ok to admit that ND should have won this game but gave it away with poor coaching and bad QB play.
Yeah, we haven't won one of those since Obama was campaigning for reelection. 5 years into the Freeman Era, it's not an extraordinary ask to get one. And if we're gonna continually lose them, can we at least try to lose them in different ways?
If that Bear shows up for the rest of the season, then this is probably a fringe top 10 team - but the spread was 10.5 on the road for a reason based on half a years of evidence prior to this. Maybe they just finally figured it out against Iowa State and us, but he wasn’t exactly lighting the world on fire this year prior.
It isn’t! If ND can kick the field goal, ND only needs a FG at the end to win it!
I just think for a team whose motto is “Leave No Doubt” they had 59 minutes and 59 seconds to take control of this game and they instead peed down their legs
There aren’t that many legit shots at these, and top 10 teams don’t lose at home often - that’s why they’re top 10 teams. It’s sort of an unfair stat to judge off of.
Yeah wtf ever happened to leave no doubt
I’d put us at 10 and make the Miami game count. We lose to Miami then drop us out of the top 12
I don’t disagree that I wish we played better and weren’t even in that position to end the game. We should have ended the game with a methodical drive after the 4th q INT. But that doesn’t negate the fact that it was patently absurd that they just didn’t let us get another play off.
I've been thinking about how, like we got a clock management guy, we should get a personnel management guy. Someone actively keeping track of all the different rotations and who needs to be in for different situations. I get that its kind of the position coach's job, but I think we need someone assisting at the play-calling level to optimize personnel usage.
