This season both feels about what I expected, but also with the feeling of missing a chance to make a run. There are no super teams out there - - Ohio State was there for the taking, and this defense could keep us in the contest against anyone out there. If we could have figured it out on offense - - specifically, leaning on Estime more in big spots, running more play action, and getting the interior line up to snuff - - I would have liked our chances against almost anyone. Anxious to see what comes next in year 3 of the Freeman era.
1. From 1994-2014 ND had 2 10 win seasons and from 2015-Present we have 6 with a shot at a 7th in the bowl game. Really fun stuff
2. Something I realized during the early onset of the game I had a thought about how as a fan I've only experienced 1 win in Palo Alto (2019) and that for the most part the team that has given the younger generation of ND fans the most fandom trauma/ptsd is Stanford which made me laugh a lil considering how most other ND fans treat the "rivalry"
