Yes this loss sucks....but the larger issue here was that we completely shit the bed with an off week to prepare. This one falls squarely on Kelly. I'm not one to attack our coach....but come on! Book looked terrible....No poise and all panic. I thought this one might go to Michigan, but to be humiliated on national television is unacceptable. I'm literally speechless....Kelly has hit his ceiling....A loss like this reminds me of Charlie level coaching. Let this sink in folks....James Franklin has built a better team in shorter time....with sanctions and scandal to boot, and he would've coached a better game with our guys than Kelly did tonight. Yes, I'm venting....But a loss like tonights could be a program changer for ND....This may be irrecoverable for the team going forward for the rest of the year, and for Kelly for the remainder of his tenure. This was complete and utter bullshit!
Two weeks to prepare and they were man handled. It was going to be a tough game playing up there and they simply weren't prepared. This one will have a lasting effect on the program.
