The losses later on to Clemson and Bama put the win into perspective IMHO. Do we think for two seconds that the 4 contributing starters would not have made a difference in South Bend? It's just my opinion and speculation anyways. Take Ian and three defensive starters out of the ND line up in any game last season and it could have had the potential of a real disaster. Just for good measure and under the circumstances, I was totally against rushing the field. Then again, I'm against doing it at any time.
