I have no idea. Somebody at work showed me a thing where Saban could, legit, tell high school players every player he's recruited that stuck around has a national championship. I didn't dig too deep on it, but that seems right. Hard to counter that argument.

Good news: They got the Jahmir Gibbs kid from GA Tech too. 😆

Alabama is so dominant it's hurting the sport in my opinion. I'm not saying they're doing anything dirty over there, but sheesh....... they sure aren't having any hiccups. Their off years are dream seasons for 90% of schools. I'm not even going to watch the title game because I don't care. Another SEC championship. Booooooring.

OSU deserves some credit for figuring out a way to get the matchup they wanted so frequently. I don't wish the kid ill will either, but you gotta call it how it is. He got abused. Sometimes you eat the bear, and other times the bear eats you.

I guess we'll see because Kelly is definitely a top 25 coach. Anybody who argues otherwise is delusional.

That sort of emphasizes what I mean. The knock on Kelly is he couldn't win the big game, right? Well, if he changes scenery to what is considered the toughest conference in the country and then proceeds to win a National Championship, it would seem to me that it would indicate there is something that needs to change at ND. If, however he goes there and doesn't succeed the argument could be made that there isn't something wrong. I'm not throwing any shade at him. I was just curious what others think.

So if Kelly wins a Natty in a, say, 3-5 years at LSU.... are we all willing to admit there may be something to ND needs to change if they want to win one again?

For sure. That's experience. Which I think Freeman and Rees got a big dose of today.

Run game could have been bolstered by using Buchner some. Teams never respected Jack Coan's legs. Even if you know Buchner is going to run, you still have to account for his arm. Not so much with Jack Coan's legs.

1. Marcus Freeman burned a lot of the good vibes with his hire in this monumental collapse. 2. I'm willing to trade the experience of the current LB group for any shred of athleticism from an underclassmen. 3. Clarence Lewis is not even serviceable at this point. 4. This game is an example of why great teams never take their foot off the gas. Whether there's 10 minutes in the half or 10 seconds. This game was lost when they scored right before the half. The second they scored I was like, "What the frig did I just see?" 5. Giant learning moment for Marcus Freeman today. 6. While I generally believe you try to take the positives away in any situation, this loss is an exception. It was such a monumental collapse that you can't gloss over it by trying to be super positive. 7. Hopefully Sony asks for their Playstation 5s back from Notre Dame.

All that good will....... GONE.

Wow. I mean.... wow.

Almost unreal how many flags have been picked up or overturn. Also, it's a culture problem at ND.

Absolutely ridiculous. How many times is #27 going to have a shot at bringing the QB in the backfield only to whiff? Embarrassing.

Same author wrote an article about the lack of freshmen use on the field. Specifically RB and WR. Which is an area I think is severely lacking. I get not using an OL, QB, or most defensive positions. However, you can get fast frosh on the field at WR and RB. They don't have to be complete players when they arrive. Finding a couple touches for players who can create speed mismatches is an area CBK has failed at miserably in my opinion. The fact Tyree saw the field is the exception and not the rule.
