This team was ranked 10. Now we are blaming youth?

ND was ranked #10 at the start. Everyone knew the ND roster and still expected good things. No one saw things going this bad this fast. Coaching plain and simple.

A fair amount of preseason gurus also had ND getting into the playoff.

I just keep thinking back to the Dayne Crist incident and the USF failure.
The abuse that was inflicted on DC on National TV. It just sent a big red flag up.

Preseason polls are garbage

 

[perseverare]

but can a genuinly decent man, in the power role, treat a young man like that? it spoke to me.

recruiting is the next thing to go down.

The talent is young but we make our defense so complex (when it's actually basic) that the inexperienced can't understand.

Blaming the youth is Penn State excuse as well as injuries. ND will need to find a new excuse.

Then again that is on coach Kelly to allow such a complex scheme with so much youth

BTW I tough coach Kelly said he was taking over the D?

 

[perseverare]

I wish somebody would... Kelly isn't going anywhere, but hopefully with enough pressure from fans and media he will get rid of BVG
