It is a mute point, if ND loses we aren't likely to beat any team we play in the playoff anyway.

Losing to BYU and a Miami team at home with talent but glaring weaknesses does not give confidence that ND can go on the road in the playoffs against a higher ranked football team and win.

This is not the beginning of the season with a first time starting QB, and new coaching coordinators like last year. This team is experienced, this coaching staff has "gelled", Carr is supposed to be above these kind of mistakes.... Saturday is the season. Win and the trek to the Natty continues.... lose and the narrative that ND is overrated and needs to join a conference will be ALL you hear until next year.

This is ND's alamo!
