It hurts me to say anything positive about Notre Dame but agree with Duff here.
Without going back to the game it seems like the game was not as close as the score. Notre Dame was overall a better team but hurt themselves with some drive killing mistakes and the like.
ND is legit. They have a salty defense, speed (especially on offense) and an experienced QB who can pull a big play out of his ass. Weakness right now is OL - which will get better every week and be pretty great by the back half of the season.
Yeah. And that’s probably why they are ranked #3. I guess I’ll let this go eventually, but if you lose a relatively close game to the #3 team, I'm not sure how that equates to being overrated. And I am, by no means, saying that A&M is good. Just saying that the loss they had on Saturday night, is not something I would define as overrated.
Not that it takes away from your point but ND was ranked 7th.
Whatever I was looking (ESPN app?) said #3 and #20. Apologies if I had that wrong.
The game itself had them at 7 and my scoring app (yahoo) says the same, but perhaps you saw something different at the time.
#3 is Oregon
Why?
Two historic stadiums available with great histories and atmospheres and instead we play in this stupid NFL stadium with no connection to college football or its history and traditions.
I don't at all disagree about playing college games in NFL stadiums but this was just a 1-off game they scheduled, not a home and home.
And I'm sure losing these channels will reflect on my bill.
Love the aggressive defensive call by USC on 4th down. It always amazes me that more teams don't blitz on a 4th down passing situation
Why don't get up and do something, couch potato?
Maybe the fact the aTm was favored
May also be what is necessary to get a top half SEC team to play a game outside of the South.
We keep seeing SEC teams playing OOC games at supposedly neutral sites that are actually NFL stadiums a short drive from campus (Atlanta, New Orleans, Dallas, etc.)
This is quite the reach to try and justify your anti-SEC bias
Phoenomenal catch too by Lacy. BS penalty on him though
Just the facts. SEC schools are notorious for not leaving the south. Until their scheduled game against Penn State Alabama will have not played a game outside of an SEC state since 2011 (not counting bowls/playoffs.) They do schedule games against ACC teams and some B12 teams but keep them in the SEC footprint.
There are some exceptions but they are few.
So are you talking about Alabama or the SEC? And Alabama is playing a game in Madison this year.
Over the past few years, just off the top of my head:
Tennessee played a game at Pitt
Auburn played in Happy Valley
LSU played at Syracuse
A&M goes to South Bend next year
UGA went to South Bend recently
Texas plays in Ann Arbor next week
