that can kill a program. BK managed to survive BVG, but that was the exception, not the rule.

Hope I'm 100% wrong on this, but ND has been winning because of great defense. That goes away and things can get ugly with the schedule next year.

ND just came off a title game season, with a great defense leading the way. How the F&*K are they not able to reel in a top DC. It can't be money.
