Mike Elko is just as bad as his raggedy QB. Has the ball, down by 7 points with 2 mins to go and 3 timeouts.
His JG QB is 12 for 28 with 100 passing yards and 2picks in 58 minutes and about 15 possessions.
Throws inc. 1st down.
Throws inc. 2nd down.
Runs for 9yards on 3rd down....
What would YOU do on 4th and 1?
Is there ANY chance whatsoever you would call a pass play when your QB is completing 1 out of 3 passes for 58 minutes and has thrown 2 picks that lead directly to points for the other team??
Of course not. No way in Hell.
Elko calls a pass play for Rocket Guarantano on 4th and 1 ....which of course falls incomplete. Game over. Deserved to lose. Their defense played like grown azz men. Everyone else including their garbage QB and busted Duke coach played horribly. Unbelievable. Hard to watch.
Now ND doesnt play another ranked team until November...and the only ranked teams they play are FSU, the GTech team that already beat overranked FSU, and the USC trojans who are also terribly overrated. I guess the bright side is ND being the cowards they are...are ineligible for the top 4 playoff spots. So if they beat all those weak azz teams and make the playoffs, they will likely run into a Tennessee, Ole Miss, Bama etc and will absolutely get humiliated on national TV again.
