They are so, so, close to being one of the top programs.
One thing that needs to be addressed is scheduling.
That can't just be a Gary thing.
It's understandable why they play more games earlier than most others, thanks to the Dome. But that may need to lighten a bit going forward.
Booking ND & Cornell so close together was a huge mistake.
Move this game, or the ND game to next weekend and win one of the Maryland/Army games and it there would be a totally different feeling around the program.
They've shown that they've got the pieces. They'll be put together for a great season next year. Book it!
