This has been an ND trait for years. Not saying we lose them all but slow uninspiring

Starts that linger. And then at the end we either lose or win a nail biter or sometimes comfortably.

There a lot of smart people involved in these programs and experts on faculty on all sorts if things. Someone has to look at this problem and figure what causes it. It’s not random or infrequent, it’s a significant amount if home games against inferior opponents. I believe there is a cause but have no way of knowing what it is.

Is it a laid back crowd and campus environment, is it poor preparation or over confidence, bad pregame prep, etc. it happens far too often for it not to be figured out. If the staff doesn’t recognize the problem then that’s half the problem.
