I'm not going to get into it too much. We all know what we saw today. I really like Coach Freeman, he's a good man. But he's in over his head and I think everyone in the country agrees that ND is not the place for a coach learning on the job.
But I will say this and I will stick with this statement. ND will never contend and beat the powerhouse programs in college football until they have a program that is a power running offense and hard nose stout defense. When is the last time ND had an offense that could run over people when they needed to? Instead, we're stuck with these "outscheme" them type of offenses that when it works, we look brilliant, but when we it doesn't, we can't fall back to lining up and running the football. I mean for the love of all things holy, most of the time our O lines are big, lumbering and slow.. the one thing they should always be able to do is run the football with acceptable effectiveness. These cute offensive gameplan type of offenses need to go.
