Unfortunately, yes. The Te'o led defense is pretty damn amazing this year. QB carousel may bite them in the rear end at some point, though.
The wannabe's tend to fall down at some point before the season is up. I never care for them, but ND has given themselves a shot. Ball control O and a very disciplined D. Bama/Oregon IMO. Wanted Kelly at UT when we had the shot.
Idiots. Snyder literally built KSU from the ground up. Before his first stint, they had a program that made Vanderbilt look like Alabama (outside of the Snyder eras, KSU has an all-time winning percentage of .368). They didn't even win their first bowl game in school history until 1993! Fulmer never built anything. All he really did was capitalize on 1) the momentum Majors had built, and 2) the traditional SEC powers being down, to win his championships. As soon as the other SEC programs got out of their slumps, he was exposed as overrated.
Need to run out the clock? Try for deep pass and block no one. Fumble next snap. Run next play out of bounds.
Irish score, get two point. Hold Pitt. Irish bobble punt, recover, then trip the qb for a 10 yard loss.
I hate to be the fan who roots for other teams to fail, but it's always fun seeing ND screw something up like that.
