Whoever ND plays it is about the biggest game of the year for them. The opponent will be playing the game of their lives but for ND its just one more game they have to win.. I think I can agree with the first sentence, but not the second. Not tonight, anyway. With a national championship game on the line, there's definitely more pressure on ND than on 7-4 USC, which is nowhere to be found in the BCS rankings.
ND has had trouble with teams with seemingly nothing to play for and therefore no pressure. Since the Holtz era the ND teams seem to not feel any pressure in games like this and come out flat. I think Kelly is changing that mindset but I would not be surprised if they blew it...
I want to see a SEC vs ND Championship game...
