Well..maybe I'm not saying this right..cause - I get grief for this kind of talk but..you're right.

This team is not far off and a lot of those mistakes are coaching and attitude. Guys don't make the better play, they make a play. Your description of Vaughn vs HIggins is exactly that.
And there's a lot of that attitude in SEC and some ACC teams that is not indoctrinated into ND players. At least not this recent edition....Those little things make the difference when getting into that upper echelon.
