Nope. Give me this OPPORTUNITY every time. Because a win against top-15 Notre Dame is huge. A win in the Cheez-It Bowl against Air Force or against Navy in the Liberty Bowl is yawn to the national perception. Doesn't do anything. Losing this game doesn't hurt us at all as Notre Dame was expected to win. Now I wish it was closer, but this program needs to embrace opportunities and cash in on them. That's a winning mentality. It's like saying we need to drop down to the MAC so maybe we can win a conference championship finally. Are you really happy and pumping your chest out in that case?
I'm definitely with you on this. This is definitely not the performance we wanted, but it is still good exposure. We could just have easily tanked against a nobody in another bowl so give me this game every time.
This really is on our offensive staff. Having this much time to prepare and coming out so flat is on them. Our coaches definitely need to change up our rituals going into games. Obviously what they have done the last few years hasn't worked.
We continually **** the bed early on big stages. Everyone says CMC is superstitious about uniforms, well maybe he needs to look at what they did for prep this game, the Iowa game, the KSU game and throw that **** out the window. In fact put it in a suitcase, give it to manning and send him packing.
Need to take a look at Memphis' OC. They move the ball.
