At the game last nite and what I saw

[kellys heroes 35]

I was at the game last nite - ND played a very good veteran defense , a defense that held Penn St to 140 less yds than Ohio State did . This game was spiked with danger , Temple was too good to establish the run on and it was really blustery down on the field . Given that we had two turnovers inside the 15 yd line it was a very good win . Beating an undefeated team on the road vs a ranked opponent after leaving at least 6 pts on the field showed a lot of character .
I have spoken to a few major college coaches and they always say that winning games is really hard . Just a suggestion here but I would advise posters to temper any posters opinion when that poster scoffs at the style of a win and scoffs at a coach who with enormous obstacles this season and last poo poo a 7-1 record or discounts a win due to" style points" . Pissed off negative posters are ignorant to the difficulties that come with competition . It is soo obvious they know nothing about athletic competition - nothing . Philadelphia has been without major college football for 70 yrs and this was Temple and the city's shot to establish some cred in college football ( at the expense of ND ) - this was an ambush in waiting -- internet trolls have no idea what ND survived last nite no idea none .

If the opponent was anyone other than ND I would have been cheering the underdogs on!!! I hope they win the AAC!

Same thing will happen next week or worse at Pitt. Another inferior team will give us fits. Has happened as far back as I remember. Don't act like this is an isolated game in which we just had an off night.

This is becoming routine. Virginia game ring a bell? People would be a lot more understanding if this was a fluke or an anomaly. "Survive and advance" isn't good enough to make the playoffs. Too many teams around the country blow out the competition and we are doing nothing to give us an edge and convince the committee we belong in the playoffs.

We need to WIN IMPRESSIVELY or kiss our chances at the playoffs good bye. Playoffs or bust! Sugarcoating won't help.
