Yes, sometime otherwise normal people have an odd Notre Dame issue.....call it NDS.
Anyone who thinks ND is not a good team obviously knows very little about football. Unlikely they will win the championship, but there isn't a sane argument that they aren't in the top 3 in the country.
Yeah, poorly done to have them come out so flat tonight, but I imagine some of that was kids afraid to blow their big moment. But they steadied the ship and gradually took control of the game. All's well that ends well.
