OSU isn't the same offense w/o Sayins & they may be w/o him for the duration.
So, is a two loss OSU team with a true Freshman rookie QB looked upon favorably by the committee? I believe that ND absolutely positively has to win out or it's the best of the rest bowl for them. And this time, no excuses, you play in that bowl game, even if you have to recruit players from the different Halls. I believe the Miami game is one of the most crucial important games in ND football history. There's a lot to prove to fans, media, committee, yourselves. In order to beat Miami IMHO, MF has to be totally involved in everything Chris Ash is doing. Everything. Secondly, CJ does not have to try and win the game himself. Trust the other 10 on that field. Just my opinions.
