I mean, not really. We dominated Pitt and Stanford more than you did. Watch the games. We played our subs the last 1.5 quarters, when you still had your ones in trying to pad the score. But it worked for you. We should have done the same. Not hating. It was probably smart of you.
@NDfan So being as non-confrontational as I can (I'm not too good at it, I'm really a prick), I'll make a case of this. Notre Dame had the last case to make a statement on this issue, Miami had already finished.
The ND - Stanford game was the chance for them to common opponent tie it up at 2-2, they knew what they had to do to make THAT statement.
What did they do, they let Stanford score 17 points on them in the second half, to make it a 29 point game. In addition, they gave up 300+ yards on offense to Stanford. The sitting the starters, well when looking at the actual game, Carr and Love was playing at the end of the 3Q to the start of the 4Q:
Miami played them, Miami won 42 - 7, won by 35 points and only gave up 144 yards on offense.
The same for Miami in Stanford game, as Emory Williams was QB and C. Wheatley-Humphrey was in the 4Q for us:
So this narrative of ND not trying to run up the score - 1 they tried, 2 they were not successful, 3 Miami did similar in the same like game.
When looking at the claims under scrutiny of matter of facts, some of the ND story doesn't hold water.
If they were not running up the score narrative, well why not. You had a chance to make a statement to take narratives away, and you didn't? Is that your angle? They put an injured LOVE back into the game for what reason? Risking his pro career for why?
OR
You were trying to run the score up, and you couldn't. You couldn't stop a sorry *** Stanford team that put 20 on you and 300+ yards.
Either way, poor narrative when you look at it deeper. This whole story line is very lame, and making me have to go into this much detail really sucked, other than my company is paying me to argue this so I shouldn't be so frustrated by it.....
