and getting embarrassed on the national stage?
You should know there are no longer any guaranteed wins. And even if dumb luck enables the team to get through the schedule unscathed, they would just be delaying their date with reality.
ND went to a couple of national championship games during Kelly's reign of error. Yet I don't count those as special seasons worthy of remembrance.
