RL's getting killed for his play, but their were quite a few players on defense who got beat consistently in one on one battles, that shouldn't get beat in one on one battles against that team. There were many plays that should have been losses for NIU, that turned into 7+ yd gains because ND's players got outworked or just plain jogged thru the play, What should have been incompletions, turned into first downs or a touchdown, because NIU just wanted it a lot more and had the focus to get it done.
If RL deserves to be benched, then so do Cross, Mills, Kiser, Morrison and Sneed. They got outworked and beat because of lack of focus all game long.

- I think they left everything on the field vs TAM. They'll bounce back like they did v Marshall. - faircatchcorby - 8:38am 9/14/24
