If Butterfingers McGee hadn't dropped the easy TD in the endzone, might have been a different game

But he did, and I never really felt like ND was in danger, but more that ND might have pushed its second game trap to the third game. I'm still not convinced that ND couldn't have won 60-0, but chose to work on a few things like the run, developing a new receiver, and playing run defense rather than obliterate MSU.
