My point is, some decent qbs have struggled against this secondary. The guy who starts for the Chicago bears this year threw three int's and didn't crack 200 yards against them last year. He also won the heisman.
The only way to know if ND is really that good is to see how we do crushing the cupcakes and beating Florida and Arky away from home. If everything looks great again headed into the Mizzu game we still could have a great season. If we lose one of two before that then it could get worse. But the ability to bounce back is critical. JFF lost his first game at home and was 11-1 after that.
