UHND.com - Notre Dame Football, Basketball, & Recruiting

that I have seen a Notre Dame team play without dominating any specific area. The passion and performance was there by every single player. Georgia may have flipped the outcome if Beck had played...or not...we will never know. But the Irish just kept making plays and the second half kickoff return silenced the Georgia crowd for good. The leadership and passion from X, Kiser, and RL was evident throughout and was blatantly missing at Hard Rock. This team has the same talent but the leadership roles have to be filled in order to raise the passion and energy for the season to be successful. You can put that on the coaches if you want to...I don't...it has to come from the players on the field. Maybe that is just me....but as an athlete, the actions are what always mattered...not the words.
