it always sucks to lose a quality receiver. was he really going to be taking the starting spot of someone more talented? if not then losing him hurts the 2019 offense.
IMO ND often wins despite Kelly, not because of Kelly. the sooner ND can move on and get a better coach the better the future could be. that is provided that is a good enough coach, and maybe that is the issue.
millions of people across America know Notre Dame because of college football. this is Notre Dame. if the university would rather keep it's academic levels then ND football is already at a disadvantage.
if pigs had wings they could fly, but they don't.
ND is already handcuffed with something that isn't even about on the field play and that is unfair. ND football should be on the same level of playing field as anyone else.
unfortunately this is what I was thinking. ND's best chance to make the playoffs in the near future is either joining a conference or if the playoffs are expanded. ND 12-0 in another season with other quality teams and it could be easy for ND to get denied.
to say ND did not belong in this game is hogwash. undefeated 12-0. you play the teams on your schedule and ND didn't lose a single game.
ND wasn't ready for this game, and that is partly the fault of coaches/Kelly.
