That is one of the worst losses in program history.
Whatever the committee decides to do with ND, that loss can be used as an excuse/reason.
But on the other hand, that loss may show you who you really are.
The offense & the offensive line look like works in progress.
I think just the opposite. If we win that game we are top 5 & hosting a playoff game.
