Ok if ND played bama's schedule, would they only have one loss? And if bama played nd's schedule, would they not be undefeated?

And the fact they haven't taken advantage of the scheduling in 30 years shows how irrelevant they have been.
That Westfield St education in play huh? Fool!

And Georgia.

It's a matter of whether Notre Dame holds Alabama under 40, and how long Saban goes in the 2nd half before we see the backups.

The coach basically says that their best chance at winning is if Alabama does not return after halftime.
 
Re: 2013 DI BCS Thread: Thorthu Thame ish bacth!

Hey you never know. An interception here, a fumble recovery there, a successful onside kick and Notre Dame would only be down by six or seven TDs at that point. It aint over 'til it's over. Play hard to the final whistle. You can always overcome a little adversity.

Yeah, right. :rolleyes:

Hard to believe last year's title game was better than this one.
 
Re: 2013 DI BCS Thread: Thorthu Thame ish bacth!

I don't think I've seen that in a college game before.

kelly's comments about feeling they needed to go for a TD on 4th and 5 from the 35 because they needed to take some chances says to me that he may have panicked more than the kids did. Mind you, nothing should have made anyone think of victory at that point but when a 1st down could be huge towards slowing the game down, maybe getting a FG and at least getting something positive, he ran 3 go routes and tossed one up for grabs.

kelly said before the game that the team that made the most mistakes would win...they had to take a lot of chances...not only was that wrong but it played into the hands of the more confident, solid team. During pre-game, Urban Meyer made a face when that line was repeated...like "that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard".

there is a difference between taking a chance on 2 and 2 from mid-field in a tight game and throwing caution to the wind, literally when you are hanging on for dear life. Almost every team in America would run one of those pick play routes and try to get somebody open for 5.01 yards. Sometimes they call it conventional wisdom because it is correct.

Again, wouldn't mean they would win but it could slow the game down, give Alabama one less possession in the first half and maybe get you 3 points. Too early to completely panic.

Great point. That decision probably caused a 10-point swing, since Alabama scored with only :31 remaining in the half. 21-3 at halftime is a completely different ballgame than 28-0.
