I was there in 1993 and remember practicing “Emergency Post Game” in the Band. 2nd best ND football memory ever (#1 was Bettis in the Snow Bowl). The result will be the same as ’93: ND 31-F$U 24. And yes this game is critical for both teams. The winner controls his own destiny. The loser will not reach the first college football playoffs.

I’d like to see him have the kind of day where everyone after the game says, Wow, ND had all the answers on offense and came out and set the tone from the beginning. If up tempo offense seems to be the best way to go then do it. If he decides he can try and control the clock and smash the ground and pick his spots to stretch the field then thats fine too. I just want to believe aftet the game he was the best coach on the field and that whether this year or sometime in the near future, I can confidently expect we can win a title with him as our coach!

They don’t have a conference championship and although preseason schedule seemed killer reality is that the schedule appears softer based on wins and losses–Michigan is down, NC was ranked pre season and is a bad team etc.
Kelly has been dismal in big games. Poor preparation and slow starts are his signature contribution in big games. we need to start much better and protect the ball. we can’t be conservative on special team returns. if do this we can win for sure

The lads I believe at this point have two (ASU and So. Cal.).

Yet does the defending champ. get a pass on its strength of schedule? If so, is that ‘pass’ negated by what ever the situation will be with FSU’s QB, Coach, school administration, local police when the committee selects the 4 playoff teams?

ND’s margin of error is less than FSU’s due to poor special teams play; and in a game like this that, or a turnover, could be the difference. On an unrelated note, glad to see some resolution in the academic probe. We’ll probably never be privy to the reason(s) why it took so long, but kudos to the university for taking action and not burying their heads in the sand (unlike FSU with the Winston situation). Glad to hear Williams and Russell recognize the value of a ND degree and plan on returning (in addition to enhancing their draft status). I don’t think Daniels deserves a third chance at ND since he was just suspended for cheating; time for him to move on. I think ND has some serious problems in regard to the number of cheating suspensions the last couple of years and they need to figure out why, despite so many resources for these athletes they’re choosing to cheat.
