Message: [QUOTE="qdawgg, post: 1145544, member: 52"] This isn't just about the ND game, it's about the Villanova and MD game too. We might not be ready to compete with top 25 teams or top 15 or whatever. That's ok, it is what it is. But you have to be able to dominate most of the game against Villanova and beat MD. All of my disappointment is the combination of the whole season. ND gave up 4 TO's and we had 3 points off that. Talk about big plays on offense all you want. It doesn't matter if you get big plays or a lot of little plays, if you only score 3 points off 4 TO's you're never really in the game. We have a talent gap, obviously. But our recruits are and have been in the same "pool" as many other teams that we play and Villanova should have won the game and MD completely outclassed us. That is where the talent argument holds very little water with me, we aren't even competitive with our peer teams. Villanova is not our peer and they beat us, except for 1 mistake. [/QUOTE]
