It seems like given recruiting restrictions -which we're all aware of - ND is always one or two position groups away from truly being one of the elite. Every year we're lacking in depth and quality of talent in one group or another. Obviously, Kelly is a great enough coach to put us in competition for 10 wins most years, but it just seems like their are certain self-imposed "institutional barriers" that keep us from being able to hang with the likes of Bama, Clemson, Georgia, Ohio State. I hope I can eat these words soon.
