same regarding the D. It’s the one area the ND media wasn’t as worried about. Poor Howard Cross never had a chance on one wheel. He didn’t deserve to go out that way. So appreciate his effort & leadership at ND.Defense was most frustrating thing to me. Very little push up front. Didn’t set the edge well. Injuries finally caught up to us. Golden bringing the house and not getting home on that late pass to smith was so predictable.
4 touches for Love was frustrating. I just don’t understand kicking the field goal down 16. Play calling there was like we were going for it.
Obviously if you told me we would make the national championship at the beginning of the year, I would’ve been thrilled. This one hurts though. I don’t feel like we put our best foot forward.
We all called what OSU was gonna do on that 3rd down. Golden’s blitzes never got home all night & he went to the well again w/ the game on the line. Live by it…die by it.
It’s not fair b/c I don’t think Golden was derelict in his duties but I guarantee some fans’ will claim he lost focus to listen to NFL offer. Thing is it was probably only the Bengals & they already know him & how he fit into that organization so would there really be some exhaustive interview that couldn’t wait until the NC was over?
