“I don’t need you to be a superstar—I just need you to be at your best.” That answers all of my questions about why this upset happened. That is awesome leadership. That’s the kind of coach that can get his guys up to run through a brick wall for him. It’s good to see that the transfer portal and NIL haven’t ended generational upsets like this.
Also, Notre Dame is consistently the most overrated program in the history of sports. How they continuously get pollsters and the media to buy into their hype, year after year, is staggering to me.
