I don't agree that it is an "effort" thing

It is the coaches' job to put the team in the position to win.

They didn't. We have the players, but we don't have the coaching.

ND got outcoached and out schemed.

If that happens once, okay, but it has now happened 3 times in the last 14 months versus the 3 best teams on the schedule!

And until ND gets that fixed, we have no credibility as a high-level program that is capable of winning an NC.
