OK, Maybe It's The Players to An Extent, Too

Who Was David, and Who Was Goliath?

I haven't seen burnt toast like that since...well...since ND's last loss.

I found myself reaching for the ND roster to try to figure out who to yell at for many of the collapses in the secondary. Criminy, even a soccer player knows it's easier to defend someone against the pass by turning around occasionally to look for the damned ball.

But what these scenarios boiled down to are simple math: the "players" in ND's secondary are 5'10", 5'11", 6'0" and 5'9". None of the guys in ND's secondary are even taller than ME! Meanwhile, Pitt's primary targets were the TE Gill (6'5") and WR Greg Lee (6'2").

ND has midgets in the secondary. Pitt had monsters in the receiving corps.

Expect a Coliseum bloodbath on 11/27.
