The Dawgs also had one miraculous TD catch. The Irish were with UGA until the clock expired on their field. Sure both teams had some breaks but ND had one good scoring drive the whole game and that was against a Georgia defense that was just trying to make them use up as much clock as possible at the end. I thought ND defense played fabulous. But the offense couldn’t sustain drives or move the ball in the second half because they weren’t balanced. Georgia dominated the LOS and the second half looked the superior team. All in all it was a good game. I’m not sure either team is a playoff team. I think they both lose multiple games this year. At least it wasn’t a total beat down like in Miami a couple years ago. In the end there is no moral victories. ND isn’t suppose to just be competitive...they need to win their share of these games. I feel like ND has their own John Harbaugh...feast on lesser competition but ultimately fall short when it matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have no idea what it is like to be a college football fan living in the obviously SEC land!! I live in Kentucky now...yeah unsufferable. Worst are the Kentucky fans that root for UK basketball here and Alabama football. I mean a majority. I guess UKs recent football success might change that but it’s embarrassing. Anyways yes...I more or less root for anyone to beat Alabama because it’s so sickening. I would love to see an SEC team travel North in November or December and play a game. B1G plays at somewhat a disadvantage because they have to play that ball control offense etc to win the title but it doesn’t bode well come bowl season in perfect conditions.

The real fouchey ones think football success translates to basketball. I try to remain neutral and just enjoy the games, but they make it tough. Now, my wife is a UK grad, and her family has had season tickets for football for years. They are loyal. I've just observed SEC fans in general beat their chest for the success of any conference team. You would think Miss St. had won multiple National titles in football with the way they strut around.

Hoosierinbham Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 I've told the story before, but my dad has always had the idea of a B1G/SEC challenge in football. Half of each conference plays at home, and vice versa. He wrote in to the Birmingham News and received a nice response from the sports editor. My dad then walked in to the SEC headquarters and asked for a meeting with the commissioner at time Mike Slive. He had an opening, so his assistant sent my dad right in. He sat and had coffee while explaining his plan. The commissioner liked it, but explained it would never happen because schools don't want to give up a home game every other year. He also admitted the southern boys wouldn't want to ever play in the cold. Only my dad could have pulled that off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steubenhoosier Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 IIRC, we played LSU in a home and home, back in the day. During a period when we were decent and LSU was just decent.
