It was 3-0 when there were a couple of uninspired goal-to-go play calls and then a missed field goal. It was only 7-3 with Notre Dame still moving the ball well in the second quarter when Ian Book and Avery Davis failed to convert on a fourth down pass. If you want a chance at beating a supremely talented team led by the best NFL quarterback prospect in years, you have to be clean (and sack him when you get near him when the game is still in the balance). Notre Dame wasn’t anywhere close to the level they needed to be and it resulted in an embarrassing loss that knocked them down into prime position for another lopsided score. Not ideal.
