Go back and rewatch the game. It will make you feel much better about the season.
For as many opportunities as ND took advantage of to win it late they missed a lot of opportunities early to bust that wide open and essentially hand off the fate of the game to our secondary by taking A&Ms run home out.
ND handed A&M their touchdown drive on a silver platter.
ND also overcame some behind the chain scenarios with tough running.
Denbrock didn't take the leash of Riley's deep ball.
Easily correctable pass pro mess ups on the inside and some of the TFLs were due to A&M
Playing downhill and tight with their safety so I put some of that on Denbrock and sure he'll open it up as everyone gets comfortable in the new system.
Yes they got man handled a few times on both sides but it definitely went both ways.
