Good observation on the ability to alternate out. While it may be a bit of suffering, the team has had the experience before, and it has been building for a while on those to fill in. They just gain more experience and I feel we have a general good depth on that now vs years ago before Babers.

I thought the team did fairly well, and I don't fault any player for being put in injury at all. But, after the run plays and I sat and watched ND run and run and run, I questioned some of our running defence choices. Of course they have the classic run up the middle on any short gain. Why ND feels the need to have a formation moove is moot when you know there going for it on 4th.

Overall, the problem is our run defense was lacking in the 1st, but then came back on the 2nd half. The change for the 3rd quarter should have happened long before that on the defense side.

We can never get back sometimes from our turnovers, but we should be able to capitalize on those we got too. And most of our pain came from not catching the ball overall and converting on turnovers. They did it we didn't. Simple mistakes to us, but from the players, well, it can be so many things, one glance, one turn, one omg I didn't know it was coming so fast. In all, the passers overall didn't connect when they were on the money, and that is probably what hurt us over all for the offense vs the defense with the ND rush game.
