when you turn the ball over a bunch, St. Mary of the Woods would be a formidable opponent. Turnovers and blunders are always cringe-worthy activities that the Irish delve into at some pretty inappropriate times....and they cannot happen if one plans to win a NC. Finke's fumble put the Irish behind the 8-ball. No surprise there. Navy, as Coach N has stated every year he has played ND, must play a perfect game void of turnovers and blunders (i.e. personal fouls, false starts, holding in the red zone, uncovered receivers, etc.). The did pretty much that until the final 6 minutes or so when they threw two interceptions that cost them the game. Until then, their running attack, the nation's best, gave them the upper hand. When both teams can score at will, it is all about blunders....and that includes coaching blunders.
