How does Notre Dame constantly get screwed by officiating on last plays or near last plays of the game?
Yes, you could argue had Notre Dame played better it wouldn't have come down to that. But all of these were blatant misses by officials that never should have happened.
It's nobody's fault but our own. The coaching staff should be embarrassed. The team leaders failed. The player's execution is on them and not on the weather or altitude, or plane ride, or crowd noise, or ESPN, or refs, or Herbie. We have all seen this movie before. OSU, A&M, Miami, and now BYU. These dudes went into last night's game knowing that a win would lead to a #1 ranking and the longest win streak in the country but that hill was too high to climb against a Big12 better than average opponent. The national ridicule is coming and they deserve every bit of it.
Georgia lost, at home, to an unranked team. Texas lost to an unranked team, Alabama lost to a team not even in the top ten, etc. if somehow we get ridicule, it is only about hate. Not a knowledgeable take on college football.
Did that happen last night? Have we not seen this sad opera before? How many times are you going to use the same silver lining talking points? Don't care about Georgia or Texas or Bama. I only care about ND. The apology locker room line starts with the coaching staff, then team leaders, then individual players.
