Observations

[Rockne's Rambler]

Did anyone notice that ND players were sweaty and panting early in the game while the Miami players looked very fresh, hardly sweating and not gasping for breath? McGlinchey especially looked exhausted after the first series, breathing hard and dripping with sweat. Not to make excuses but I can’t help but think that heat and humidity affected the Irish badly.
About Wimbush, it seems that in every game when they show a slow motion replay of him passing, the ball wobbles/flutters through the air. He looks awkward.
St. Brown looked very good. Mack might’ve had a breakout game with a better qb.

No question. It is not an excuse. It is the reality of being acclimatized. Do you think Miami might play differently if they came to South Bend in November? Why do you think the ND and SC series is played in a way to keep SC from having to come out to South Bend in late November.

Yes let's find every excuse under the sun.. It was 77 degree and breezy.. no different than a September game in south bend...

Ridiculous.

How many ****ing excuses have to be made?

Did the humidity make them play scared to fail? Did the humidity make them tip toe around carrying the ball? Did the humidity cause the holy shit deer in headlights look across the entire team?

No.

Another big game on the road with much at stake... Result

One team played like they wanted to be there and expected to win, the other played scared and timid and just going through the motions like a zombie.....
a BK big road game staple.

So the huffing and puffing and sweating was due to lack of conditioning and weather had nothing to do with it?

The season finale for Miami at Pitt on 11/24 could be interesting if it's as cold as it potentially could be.
