Little Johnny wasn’t so valuable against LSU and Florida, was he? As for ND, just keep thinking that way. They have been discounted and doubted and discredited all season, and look what they have accomplished.
He was very good. The kicker on the other hand was horrible!
On the other hand, ND had to go to OT to beat Pitt, and really should have lost (yeah, think about that long and hard). Michigan creamed them in every way, except they would hand ND the ball at the end of every possession. Even at their own stadium, with 7 turn overs and Robinson's worst game as a collegiate, the game was in the balance until the final minute. UM made them look bad after being destroyed by Bama.
ND had a tough time against a very poor, Barkley-less USC team, and had sub par games against other listless, lifeless and mediocre teams.
Who did they beat?
I've watched ND a few times, and have been unimpressed each time. They are a decent team, maybe belong around # 10 or so but they do not belong in this game. Bama is going to smoke them, no contest, it will be an embarrassment they were even in the NC game.
We'll see won't we. I love collegiate football, but may not watch this one it's going to be so lopsided.
