Just finishing watching the game again. Beautiful two point conversions. If this team needed to score more this season we could have. We were almost never behind and needing to air it out. Leonard had to pass and Ohio state knew it and he still delivered and our OLine gave him protection.

Without question, year over year, we miss on bonafide 5 stars. They are the difference that separates us from the top 3-5 recruiting teams annually.

If Freeman could have retained Elston instead of hiring Washington...that may have been the difference.

I'm glad there is a little more detail here. I'm sure the players were just so heartbroken and didn't want to answer questions. Tough situation. I'm glad Molly gave her "hot"

I didn't think about it at the time, but converting on two 2 point conversions against Ohio State is pretty incredible. Number one by a huge margin in redzone defense, and getting two of those in on one chance is pretty outstanding. A lot of good from last night honestly. It's just too late for any of it to matter.

I don’t follow many of the OSU players so I’m out of the loop here - what are they saying?
I absolutely hate reporters in the locker rooms at any level of sports. It’s such an intrusion of privacy. Let the guys process what happened, shower, change, and then ask questions in a different location.
I’m a big fan of Jayden Thomas stepping up to protect his younger teammate. I hope he comes back because he seems to a positive locker room presence and has been a very unselfish player, which is rare in a WR room.

One of those was directed at a nameless shittalker on Twitter. The other is a fair response to Love saying he wanted to play them. I see no issue with either. Sucks cause we're on the losing end but fair play.

It's pretty unusual in a college sports setting. Kinda surprised they do it actually.

Who cares what their players are saying? To the victor goes the spoils. Anyway, I think Love was just saying we consider OSU the best, and we want to play the best. He wasn't implying that we would win, like when fans chant "we want Bama" or whatever.
OSU players/fans/etc. do seem to have a big chip on their shoulder, for whatever reason. I lived in Columbus and found the fixation with Michigan a little bizarre. I guess this obsession existed even when they were beating Michigan regularly. Granted that OSU owns ND, though. At least in football.

I thought the one directed at the shittalker was fair.
Snipping Love’s statline is a low blow, especially since Love said he wanted to play OSU because he wanted to play the best. Tyleik is just being an ass. Go to his account and you’ll see he’s retweeting a bunch of anti-ND content. Not sure what his deal is, but to each his own, yeah none of this happens if they win the game.
Mills and Morrison don’t get hurt and this game is a toss-up against all that 5 star talent. Our injuries caught up with us.

One thing I've really enjoyed is watching is watching all the clowns doing the "Notre Dame laid another egg in a big game" routine got wrecked by football fans everywhere.
Notre Dame needs to win a championship to get the monkey off their back, but the negative perception that ND can't compete has basically been crushed.
It's basically a litmus test now on whether someone knows ball or not. I think this season, including last night, is going to pay dividends with recruiting. Notre Dame isn't just that team that was good a long time ago now.

College football fans everywhere were deprived of watching a war between Smith and Morrison. Such a shame.

I really don't think that's gonna be the case - there's plenty of deep pocketed schools that will throw money around to spread the talent out. I think we're entering an era of way greater parity than we've seen

Ohio State is and has been in Stormtrooper mode. They are simply more talented and deeper.
They are what we should be aspire to be.

I take it is USA Today boy archaic edition and a couple others were hounding a distraught Gray and Thomas told them to get f*cked. Which I support.I'm glad there is a little more detail here.

No one is going to arguing with you on this point.
